Please, help me. I am new in programing. I try but I can not do it. Please, can you someone explain me ?

Program in C that takes a number from 1 to 10 as a user input (unless sentinel value is provided), checks if the number is not odd, and if not, multiply user’s input by 100. By using while, switch, if statements and continue and brake keywords.

It might be easier to get help if you post your question in the topic area for the language you are working with. Also, provide a link to the course page with the specific task instructions.

If you're working with a course challenge, the "get help" button will usually start a question and automatically provide a link and a copy of your code.

Oh, good point, the "C" language is not taught by Treehouse or supported on this forum. C# would probably be the closest language here.

Also, this description of the objective doesn't seem complete. In particular:

  • it says "unless sentinel value is provided" but doesn't say by what mechanism this value will be provided
  • it's not clear what should be done with the result of multiplying an odd number by 100
  • it's not clear what should be done if the number is found to be even

Perhaps the original instructions have more info and/or provide some examples that would fill in these gaps. Can you provide a link to them?
