variable used in loop condition not modifies in loop body

CS50x: Issue on problem Felipe´s Taqueria, program keeps asking me for input, without printing price, why?
I think the issue is with your else statement inside of your for loop. The for loop is iterating through all of the items in your list until it finds a match to your input. So the first iteration, ...

Will the loop break in case the condition returns some value to the caller method in C?
"Will the loop break?" Technically speaking, no, it won't break. By using a return true statement, the entire function will immediately terminate and return a value of true to the calling code (or if ...

Choice of loops in C: Are the three loops exclusive or replaceable for a task

Why does this become an infinite loop?
The infinite loop lies here:
while(j < rows)
{
printf("#");
(i++);
}

Problem in the do..while loop in Mario.c
The declaration of your main function needs to be as so:
int main(void)

...code...
}
Notice the positions of curly braces relative to the declaration and the lack of semi-colons.
