PSET 1 Can't implement loop at the prompt

Question

I'm still on my prompt part, couldn't get to the pyramid yet, my code compiles but I can't make the loop recursive, that is, after the first entry it goes back to the prompt $. Here is the code:

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

int main(void)
{ 
    int n;
    do
    { 
        n = get_int("Height: "); 
        }
    while (n < 0 && n > 8); 
    printf("Height: \n");
    }

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Do you know how you would confirm that the variable was stored? i.e. in response to the question "confirming (for yourself) that you’ve indeed stored the user’s input successfully?"

$ ./mario Height: -1 Height: 0 Height: 42 Height: 50 Height: 4 Stored: 4

Answer 2

First of all, "recursive" means something that calls itself repeatedly. You mean that you can't get the loop to repeat.

Think about the condition clause. while (n < 0 && n > 8); When can any number be less than 0 AND greater than 8 at the same time????? Maybe you meant to use OR instead of AND?

Thank you Cliff B. I'm not a native English speaker, sorry about that. I'll try what you're telling me. Thanks again. Edit: I tried, the mistake was the signs were inverted. I meant to write

(n > 0 && n < 8)

now I can't stop the loop from repeating. Gonna work on that. Still, any help will be welcome.
