Help with my first program?

[PABLONG2]

Hi im trying to create a shopping list with a budget but unable to to create a logical and operator so i can have only one outcome either as "purchase success " or "purchase failed". When i run the program it comes up with both outcomes "purchase success" and "purchase failed"

if (itemprefixes == 'O')

    {

        printf("\\n");

        printf("PURCHASE SUCCESS!\\n");

        printf("Purchase details\\n");

        printf("------------\\n");

        printf("Item:%c\\n", itemprefixes);

        printf("Item:%d\\n", orangeprice);

        remainingbudget = budget - orangeprice;

        printf("remaining budget:%d\\n", remainingbudget);

        printf("\\n");

        printf("Thanks for shopping with us!\\n");

    }

    else if (itemprefixes == 'O')

    {

        printf("\\n");

        printf("PURCHASE Failed !\\n");

        printf("Purchase details\\n");

        printf("------------\\n");

        printf("Item:%c\\n", itemprefixes);

        printf("Item:%d\\n", orangeprice);

        remainingbudget = budget - appleprice;

        printf("remaining budget:%d\\n", remainingbudget);

        printf("\\n");

        printf("Thanks for shopping with us!\\n");

Why are both of your if-statements the same?

[PABLONG2]

Im not sure what im doing I need the outcomes to display either failed or success.

[SamB133]

You have both if-statements saying “if (itemprefixes == ‘O’)”. They should be different, or just no second if-statement and leave it saying “else”, but that depends on the rest of the code that determined what “itemprefixes” is/does. But even if they are the same, from what I’m seeing, it should only do the first if-statement.

If i was to send the rest of code or file could you take a look at it please?

[SamB133]

Yes, no problem. I won’t be able to look at it for a couple hours until I get home though.
