[KPlateo]

using djgpp on win 98, hid_places_f2[0] = 1, hid_places_f2[1] = 2, this always prints the message at the end, even if y is equal to -1,and i don't want it to, think i amde an error, if you could help out please.

int y = 0;
y = hid_places_f2[0] - hid_places_f2[1];
if ( (y % 3) != 0 || y != 1 || y != -1 )
printf("%d%d%d%dwrong", y, hid_places_f2[0], hid_places_f2[1], hid_places_f2[2]);

try using && instead of ||, I t hink you've got a logic error.

I agree, also you don't need to put the test for y!=1 twice, try:

if ( (y % 3) != 0 && y != 1 )

i think the problem in , (..||y != 1 ||...)
this part is logical true(since y = -1 according to ur numbers,and so it is not 1,so y!=1 is ture)...
try what they said to u(use &&)

one more i wanna add
you should put the brackets for each expression
if ( ((y % 3) != 0) || (y != 1) || (y != -1) )

hope help
