Please edit your scanf line scanf("%d", a); to scanf("%d",&a);. You need to pass the address of a, not its value.

You forgot a "&":

scanf("%d",&a);

so it always returns the first as true as "a" is = 0 no matter what you enter

The scanf() function requires you pass the address of your variable:

scanf("%d",&a);
