print statement ignored when else if statement is true

Question

I'm attempting to write an error statement to tell the user that the "Player is not in roster". I'm using an if and else-if statement but when the else-if statement is true the print gets ignored and loops back to my defined menu. For the question about what is jerseyNumber. it is int jerseyNumber[100]; .

int jerseyNumber[100];
...
//case r allows for a player to be replaced
case 'r':
    printf("Enter a jersey number:\n");
    int replace;
    scanf("%d", &replace);
    if (replace == jerseyNumber) { 
        for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; ++i) {
            //if the user input matches a jersey in the array the user will input a new jersey number and rating
            printf("Enter a new jersey number:\n");
            scanf("%d", &jerseyNumber[i]);
            printf("Enter a rating for the new player:\n");
            scanf("%d", &playerRating[i]);
        }
    }
    else if (replace != jerseyNumber) {
        printf("Player not in roster.");
    }
    break;

Answer 1

Since jerseyNumber is an array (ie int jerseyNumber[100] ) this

if (replace == jerseyNumber) {

is comparing an int with a pointer. That's a bug. You need to access an array element before the compare. Like

if (replace == jerseyNumber[SomeNumber]) {

This leads to the second problem. Your if statement must be inside the for loop like:

    for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; ++i) {
        if (replace == jerseyNumber[i]) {

Further, you want to print a message when the number isn't found. There are several ways to do that. Here is one. The idea is simply to let the for loop go one beyond the valid array size and then check for end-of-array inside the for

    for (int i = 0; i <= numPlayers; ++i) {    // note the <=
        if (i == numPlayers) {                 // check for end-of-array
            printf("Player not in roster\n");  // no more array elements
        }
        else if (replace == jerseyNumber[i]) { // check for jersey match
            printf("Enter a new jersey number:\n");
            scanf("%d", &jerseyNumber[i]);
            printf("Enter a rating for the player:\n");
            scanf("%d", &playerRating[i]);
            break;                             // stop the loop
        }
    }

Bonus info

Always check the value returned by scanf

So your scanf should be:

if (scanf("%d", &replace) != 1)
{
    // Input error - no integer available
    ... add error handling here ...
}

Answer 2

Use should use else in place of else if

    else {
       printf("")
    }

I don't know is it gonna work in c but it works in java so i think they are similar

Edit: The if in the else if is redundant in this case because it is testing the exact opposite of previous if which had to be false if the program reach this point.
