When I try to run my code, I'm getting no error messages, but my code ends after i enter the amount of games i would like to play. There are no errors, other than 'cannot find or open PDB File' and I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Express

Answer 1

It's scanf("%d", &PlayGames); (change the &d by %d)

Answer 2

在主函数中，您正在使用singlegame-函数名称作为变量...它会引发错误，因为您尚未声明任何此类变量。而是将函数调用singlegame（correctanswer）置于if和else条件中。

Answer 3

Your code should not compile at all. I'm surprised you claim it does. You are using functions as if they were variables.

But in any case, after fixing all those things the code does indeed end prematurely. The cause is a typo in scanf("&d", &PlayGames); . The int format specifier should read %d instead of &d .

Because of this typo the value of PlayGames is never set and stays at 0.
