#include <stdio.h>


int main(void)
{

	int AccountType;

	printf("Please enter your account type:
 1. Checking 
 2. Money Market

Account Type: ");
	scanf("%d", &AccountType);


	if(AccountType = 1) 
		printf("Your account type is Checking
");
	else

My problem is that NO MATTER WHAT the user enters it always says it is a checking account. Enter 1, checking. Enter 2, checking. Enter h, checking. I have typed an example out of my book to ensure that works, and it does. This is essentially the exact same thing as that example. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TO

if(AccountType == 1)
