I have a small prog, that needs this. It prompts you for an integer, but you can enter other types. If you enter other types, if really screws up the prog. I'm using a scanf to get that value for a variable, but after that, I want to check to make sure the value in that variable is a integer. If it's not, it would prompt the user again. How would I do that? -- (~_Ionicis_~) http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/2306/ <--- Go here!
