scanf("%d", &var), but scanf("%s", var) (without &). if(marital_status == "married") (in quotes), same for gender. && instead of &&&

In c you can't compare string content with == You must use strcmp(s1, s2); It returns 0 if both strings are equal. Ej. scanf("%s %s", marital_status, gender); if( (strcmp(marital_status, "married") == 0) && (strcmp(gender, "male")==0) ) { ..... ..... } #include <string.h> to use string finctions such as strcmp()
