Syntax Issue with If Condition

[Justin5978]

Hello again,

I was just wondering if anyone would be able to clarify a syntax issue I am having. It is towards the bottom of my code in the CompareLetters function and is dealing with the first if statement. Why am I getting an expected '=' message on the == and an expected expression message after the closing parenthesis. I have absolutely no idea why it is doing that and every reference I go to has their if statements just like mine. If someone could help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

P.S. I know a whole lot of the rest of the code is badly messed up. I am in the middle of a project. I would be more than open to any addition help though :)

EDIT: Also, in the PlayGuess function, when I try to call on the CompareLetters function, it will not allow me to enter ANYTHING in the parameters. If anyone is willing to take a loot at that for me, I will be forever in your debt!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

#define MAX_GUESSES 5

void Instructions();
int PlayGuess(char solution);
char GetLetter();
int CompareLetters(char guess, char solution);


int main ()
{
	Instructions();
	
	return 0;
}

void Instructions ()
{
	printf("Hello, and welcome to the letter guessing game.\n");
	printf("You will be allowed five guesses for up to four games, depending on how many you wish to play.\n");
	printf("The goal is simple; just keep guessing different letters until \nyou choose the correct one.\n");
	printf("After each guess, you will be informed if the solution is alphabetically behind or ahead of your guess.");
	printf("If the correct letter is chosen, the game is over and you have won!\n");
	printf("If you fail to choose the correct letter after your fifth try, you lose.\n");
	printf("Okay, now lets begin.\n");
}

int PlayGuess(char solution)
{
	int NumGuesses=0; int WinOrLose=0;

	while (NumGuesses < MAX_GUESSES && WinOrLose==0);
	{
		GetLetter();
		CompareLetters();
		NumGuesses++;
	}


}

char GetLetter()
{
	printf("Please enter your letter guess: ");
	char UserGuess;
	scanf("%c", &UserGuess);
	UserGuess = tolower(UserGuess);
	return UserGuess;
}

int CompareLetters(char guess, char solution)
{
	if(char guess == char solution)
	{
		return 1;
	}
	else
	{
		return 0;
	}

}

Line 55: Remove the char from the statement.

	if(guess == solution)

I just did that but still no luck :/

Line 37: You're trying to call CompareLetters without specifying any arguments.

What are the exact errors are you're getting?

Edit: In PlayGuess, you need both solution and guess so you can pass them to Compare letters. Then you need to do something with the result returned by CompareLetters.
