if statement not working right?

Question

I\'ve looked and looked with the debugger and cannot seem to figure out why the IF statement always prints the message.

The IF statement checks to see if yesno != \'

Answer 1

Take the conditional yesno != 'Y' || 'N' apart. It has two clauses:

1. yesno != 'Y'. This is probably a comparison you intended; it checks to see if the char yesno is inequal to the value 'Y'.
2. 'N'. This clause evaluates simply to the value 'N'. As a bool, 'N', which is not zero, is considered "true."

So you have "(stuff) || (always true)". Here "stuff" is yesno != 'Y' and "always true" is 'N'. The result will always be true.
