My program loops forever and does only a half of what I told it to do

Question

I\'m new to programming and I started to make my own Fire Emblem level up calculator, but for some reason it loops infinitely. I can\'t find an answer. Could you look for an

level-1; computes the value of level-1 and then throws it away, doing essentially nothing. As such, the value in level is never updated and you're stuck with an infinite loop (you are also doing this with all of your variable updates, be careful!)

level = level - 1;
level -= 1;
level--;

Furthermore, if(cha[6] = 'Dieck') is not correct on several fronts. You could perhaps do

if(strcmp(cha, "Dieck") == 0) { //...

If you make sure to #include
