I've got an assignment that I've been struggling with all day, and after re-doing the program several times I believe I've narrowed down my problem to this:

#include #include int random;
int guess;
char play = 'y';
int game = 1;

int main()
{
while(game == 1)
{
if(play == 'y')
{
random = 1 + rand() % 1000;

	printf("\\nI have a number between 1 and 1000.\\nCan you guess my number?\\nType your first guess:");

	play = 'v';

}
	scanf("%i",&guess);

	if(guess == random)
	{
		printf("\\nExcellent! You guessed the number!\\nWould you like to play again?(y/n)");
		scanf("%c",&play);
		if(play == 'n')
		{
			 game = 0;
		}
	}

	else
	{
		if(guess < random && guess != random)
		{
			printf("\\nToo low, try again!");
		}

		if(guess > random && guess != random)
		{
			printf("\\nToo high, try again!");
		}
	}
}

	return 0;

}

When I enter the if(guess == random){} block and answer the (y/n) question, the program falls apart. No matter what I seem to do, it'll shut down, stop functioning, or repeat that block once more before it moves on to what it's supposed to do. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
