I can't get this to work, I've googled it, searched this site, and even asked some friends. I get this error:
CODE
ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer

When I try to compile this code:
CODE
#include <stdio.h>
char answer();
main(){

       printf("\n Press ENTER or RETURN to continue.");
       getchar();
       printf("What do you like to eat? ");
       printf("\n a)television sets");
       printf("\n b)potatoes");
       printf("\n c)cheese");
       printf("\n d)pie");
       printf("\n \n");
       printf("What is your answer? \n");
       scanf("%c", &answer);
       getchar();
       if(answer == 'c'){
       printf("correct");
}
getchar();
       }

This:
CODE

if(answer == 'c'){


Should be:
CODE

if(*answer == 'c'){

Sorry, still get the same error.
