Question

C program not functioning with "||" File Attached

Answer 1

No file, so just a guess. "||" is "or" in a conditional statement. Bitwise "or" is '|'.

Answer 2

rsmith6559 is correct, || does in fact mean "or" in a conditional statment while programming c. I cannot confirm bitwise

Answer 3

yup . . both are right. . in C we have || to denote the "or" conditional statement
for example:
a or b " will be written as a || b " in C

Answer 4

must have deleted the file by mistake, i have re uploaded the file

Answer 5

AFAIK, conditionals like that should be written:

if( ( a == b ) || ( c == d ) || ( e != f ) )
{
/* try again */
}

So that the comparisons are done, and then the results of the comparisons are or'd together. Or does short-circuit.

Answer 6

thanks rsmith6559, that has helped but now im getting a complier error, When compiled and run the program crashes stragoght after you have the input w || W

Answer 7

you have to put w||W in quotes. like:

if(user_choice == 'w'||'W')
{
}

Answer 8

if( ( user_choice == 'w' ) || ( user_choice == 'W' ) )
{
}

The comparisons are to the letter, the || is for the results of the comparisons.
