"==" question?

[LATCH100]

if z is an int and z=8
why would z=='8' be false?

[TheKingOfTyrants]

Single quotes imply it's a character. So when you try z == '8', you're trying to compare a variable int to a char. z == 8 is how you would compare a variable int to an int.

a very simple example using z.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
 {
  int z = 8;

  if (z == 8) 
   printf("the value stored in z is %d", z);  // very simple output because of z's truth.

  return 0;  // returns value because main() is of integer type.
 }
