Also, not a compiler error, but when checking the response you have:
if (condition)
statement1;
statmenet2;
But condition only determines whether statement1 is executed, and
statement2 will always be executed. You need braces (to make a
'compound statement'):
if (condition)
{
statement1;
statement2;
}
If you're interested, a better way of checking the response would be
to use a 'switch' construct.
