[C language] how to make loop until true?

Like.. I need to input monster type, it must be large, small, pets, or endemic. I want to make that if the type I input is other than the one of that four type, it will loop until the input is true.. Please, help me.. I put my code here : https://code.sololearn.com/cozPXDjjCVne/?ref=app

You chained the strcmp checks wrongly there I think. Try: while(!(strcmp(...) == 0 || strcmp(...) == 0 || ...)) { }

`!=` is not the correct way to compare strings in c, that's why your code doesn't work. Have a look at the `strcmp` function! if(strcmp(monster, "Large") == 0) { //the strings are equal! }

Your way to loop until true is correct just use the strcmp method instead of != to compare it inside the while loop

No, if the user inputs the correct value you expect then the loop will not execute.
