Hi, I''m making a stupid mathgame to get me started in the game programming world I am having minor problems with events. I have an addition question 753 + 13 and you have type in the answer. The problem is that no matter what you type in for the answer both events turn on and it says: Correct! Incorrect Here''s the code: typedef unsigned short USHORT; #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> USHORT FindSum(USHORT length, USHORT width); int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { USHORT heightOfYard; USHORT lengthOfYard; USHORT widthOfYard; USHORT sumOfYard; printf("MathQuest by: Alex Klos\n\n"); printf("Hit ''ENTER'' to proceed on the question."); printf("\n\nThe first number is: 13\n"); system("pause"); printf("\nThe second number is: 753\n"); system("pause"); printf("Add the numbers and type your answer: "); scanf("%d", &heightOfYard); if (heightOfYard = 766); printf("\nCorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 760); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 761); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 762); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 763); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 764); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 765); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 767); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 768); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 769); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 770); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); if (heightOfYard = 771); printf("\nIncorrect\n"); system("PAUSE"); return 0; } //As you see I''m using lengthOfYard and all that but it should work anyway. Shouldn''t it?//

You might want to try == instead of = if you are testing for equality in those if statements.

Thanks for trying to help but it didn''t work.

use == instead =,and learn the "else" statement.

You see I am trying to make it that if someone types:
766 and presses enter it contintues the program and tells the person that he/she is correct. And, I don''t think anyone would be stupid enough to type the answer below 760 or above 771 so if the type a wrong answer within that it''s incorrect.

Thanks alot guys it works now.

I''m confused. Why don''t you just say:

if(heightOfYard == 766)    printf("Correct\n");else    printf("Incorrect\n"); 

But the problem you''re having is the semicolon after every if. Take those out, and use the = to == suggestion (because that is the other problem) (ie this:

if (heightOfYard = 766);printf("\nCorrect\n"); 

becomes this:

if (heightOfYard == 766)printf("\nCorrect\n");
