I'm trying to make a program that takes the birth day and birth month from the user to output corresponding zodiac sign.

I've tried this: "5 1" as an input, but for some reason, I don't get an output.

What I have tried:

C++

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

int birth_day, birth_month;

 scanf("%d %d", &birth_day, &birth_month);

if (birth_month == '1')
 {
   if (birth_day < 20)
   {
     printf ("Capricorn\n");
   }
 }
}

Solution 1

C++

if (birth_month == '1') // you are trying to compare an int with a char type
// correct code is as follows:
if (birth_month == 1) // integer value 1
