    [RESOLVED] Problem implementing ToUpper

    I have searched and tried so many combinations to implement ToUpper into my program but it simply doesn't work so I'm resorting to the message boards!

    I'm coding in C# and I use Visual 6 C++ at Uni and Codeblocks at home and it works on neither.

    Currently I'm using (repeatTest=='Y' || repeatTest=='y') but I want to implement <ctype.h> and ToUpper so that even if a lowercase y is entered it still accepts it.

    I've tried

    char repeatTest = repeatTest.ToUpper();
    repeatTest = repeatTest.ToUpper();

    both say 'ToUpper' in something not a structure or union

    and many other combinations.

    Here's my working code

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <time.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	char repeatTest='Y';
    
    	while (repeatTest=='Y' || repeatTest=='y')
            {
    		char answer=0, correctAnswer=0, questionNumber=1, testResult=0, NumberOfQuestions=1;
    		srand (time(0));
    
                    printf ("Test will begin, good luck\n\n\n\n");
    
                    for (NumberOfQuestions=0; NumberOfQuestions!=10; NumberOfQuestions++) {
                            int randomValue1=rand()%12+1;
                            int randomValue2=rand()%12+1;
                            printf("%i. What is %i x %i?    ",questionNumber, randomValue1, randomValue2);
                            scanf("%i", &answer);
    
                            if (answer==(randomValue1*randomValue2)){
                            printf ("Correct\n\n");
                            ++correctAnswer;
                            ++questionNumber;
    			}
    
    			else {
    				printf ("Incorrect\n\n");
    				++questionNumber;
    			}
    		}
    
                   testResult = correctAnswer * 10;
                   printf ("You answered %i%% of the questions correctly\n\n",testResult);
                  "\n\n";
                   printf ("Would you like to have another go? Y or N\n\n");
                   scanf (" %c", &repeatTest);
    
                    if (repeatTest=='N' || repeatTest=='n'){
                            return 0;
                    }
    
                   system("cls");
    
    	}
        system("pause");
    }
    Any responses would be appreacted

    Some advice -- don't use C# as a guide in attempting to write C++ code.

    Ah, I think I'm getting too far ahead of myself. I'll wait to see how my tutor implements it in c# in my upcoming lessons rather than using c++ code lol thanks!

    Re: [RESOLVED] Problem implementing ToUpper

    Code:
    while (repeatTest=='Y' || repeatTest=='y')
    becomes
    Code:
    while(toupper(repeatTest) == 'Y')
    note lowercase.

    you could also have
    Code:
    repeatTest = toupper(repeatTest);
    after the scanf.

    You also need
    Code:
    #include <ctype.h>
    at the beginning of the program.

    Paul offered some good advice - although in certain respects c# bears some resemblance to c++, don't use it as a guide as to how to write c++ programs.
    All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality. I cannot offer advice regarding any other c/c++ compiler/IDE or incompatibilities with VS.
