Prompting user for integer 2> and >9 in C

Question

Really rookie question about C...

I want the user to enter a number between 2 and 9, and if they don't, the prompt repeats itself until an integer within my parameters is entered. I can get this to work with one parameter ie

  int between_2_and_8(string prompt)
{
    int n;
    do
    {
        n = get_int("%s", prompt);
    }
    while (n > 8);
    return n;
}

but not having luck putting 2 parameters in. Here is the snippet:

int between_2_and_8(string prompt)
{
    int n;
    do
    {
        n = get_int("%s", prompt);
    }
    while (n > 8);
    return n;

    while (n < 2);
    return n;

}

Answer 1

You can add two conditions to continue your do-while loop .

Modify your code as below:

int between_2_and_8(string prompt)
{
    int n;
    do
    {
        n = get_int("%s", prompt);
    }
    while (n < 3  || n > 8); // continue looping till either n is less than 3 or greater than 8
    return n;
}

EDIT: Corrected conditions
