#Need help with figuring out while loop

modern jacinth
if you want to take input in a loop, you need to put the thing that takes input in a loop
modern jacinth
read the letter separately then
crystal lake
yeah i thought of that
but ran into a bit of prob with it
wait lemme edit and send
still how do i get the while loop to work
modern jacinth
you still aren't reading the letter again
so it's still the same infinite loop or no loop issue
crystal lake
but i am reading the letter with scanf
Separately
oh it might have been because of the space I left before %c
i removed it now but its not asking for the input at all
like it just says "Create the level" and prints the map without letting the user enter anything
oh its a working a bit now
Essentially i wrote it as scanf("%c ") now
space after %c not before
modern jacinth
but i am reading the letter with scanf
once, outside the loop
you aren't changing the value inside the loop, so the loop condition never changes
crystal lake
once, outside the loop
yeah i need to take multiple inputs
crystal lake
you aren't changing the value inside the loop, so the loop condition never chang...
wait I am not?
i assigned it to WALL enum
modern jacinth
where do you think you're changing the value of W_to_create inside the loop?
crystal lake
why do i need to change that
modern jacinth
because that's your loop condition jfc
modern jacinth
infinitely
crystal lake
if its S, we print map
modern jacinth
your loop never stops if it's W
you just keep turning thigns into walls over and over until the end of time
crystal lake
no actually my loop is only running once
it stops automatically after running once
no matter what u enter
modern jacinth
it does not
crystal lake
S or W
crystal lake
it does not
I tried to run it
crystal lake
so after assigning it to WALL, should i scanf characters again?
modern jacinth
how else would you get new input
the wall assignment has nothing to do with your loop condition
your loop continues while W_to_create is W. You never change it after reading if the first time, so it will always keep being W, so the loop never stops
modern jacinth
go back to what
crystal lake
like go back to get another scanf
modern jacinth
the things inside your loop happen every loop

oh
so after the for loop ended
i write another scanf
to get the char value
something like this?
instead of writing for loops, should i write while and if statements
crystal lake
!solved
