pset1 - credit - if-else statement issue

Question

I have written a (clumsy) solution to the credit pset1. However, the solution only works for "Mastercard" credit card numbers (i.e. 5555555555554444). For "Visa" and "Amex" my code does return the proper credit card type, but at the same time it displays "Invalid". My question is: how to fix this if-else statement issue?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
    //Prompt for the credit card number
    printf("What is your creditcard number?\n");
    long number = get_long("Enter number: ");
    int d = 2;
    long ten = 10;
    long base = number;

    //Only consider VISA credit cards starting with a 4 and 16 digits total
    if(4000000000000000 <= base && base < 5000000000000000)
    {
        //Capture each digit separately
        b8 = base % 10;
        x1 = (base / (pow(ten, 1)));

Answer 1

The (only) else clause executes after the MASTERCARD code; if a card was already determined to be VISA or AMEX, it will not be MASTERCARD, therefore, will execute that else.

In pseudo code something like this:

IF card is VISA
     print VISA
IF card is AMEX
     print AMEX
IF card is MASTERCARD
     print MASTERCARD
ELSE 
    print INVALID

Once it is determined that a card is valid, the program should ostensibly finish. In pseudo code something like this:

IF card is VISA
    print VISA
ELSEIF card is AMEX
    print AMEX
ELSEIF card is MC
    print MC
ELSE 
    print INVALID

Editorial comment: Early attempts at coding are usually "clumsy" to use your word. Especially when viewed in the rear-view mirror. This is a great piece of code to set aside and revisit (and perhaps rewrite) periodically as you learn and grow in the discipline. It will be a great self-teaching tool, not to mention a way to mark progress.
