the problem is that the if function at the end is not reggisting the "Attack"

Question

// libraries are stdlib.h and stdio.h, this is also NOT the main function

int main_fight(int Enemy_dmg, int Enemy_df, int Enemy_hp){
    char BATTLE_INPUT [50];
    printf("You angered an Enemy! (no name yet) \n");
    printf("What will you do? [Attack] [Heal] [Run] \n");
    printf("--->");
    scanf("%s", BATTLE_INPUT);
    
    if (BATTLE_INPUT == "Attack"){
        printf("User Attack!");
    } else {
        printf("Code not working :>");
    }
    
}

Answer 1

In C string literals can be compared with equality operator (==), but what the user enters and you store in BATTLE_INPUT is not a string literal.

When you compare the BATTLE_INPUT to "Attack" what you really compare is the memory address stored in your variable and the memory address of the string literal. You can see this is unlikely to match.

To compare strings, use the strcmp() function from the "string.h" library.

Your code should look like this

if (strcmp(BATTLE_INPUT, "Attack") == 0)

Good luck!

thanks it works much better now

Answer 2

int main_fight(int Enemy_dmg, int Enemy_df, int Enemy_hp){
    char BATTLE_INPUT [50];
    printf("You angered an Enemy! (no name yet) \n");
    printf("What will you do? [Attack] [Heal] [Run] \n");
    printf("--->");
    scanf("%s", BATTLE_INPUT);
    
    if (BATTLE_INPUT == "Attack"){
        printf("User Attack!");
    } else {
        printf("Code not working :>");
    }
    
}
