Thank you all for your kind, patient and educative responses when I obnoxiously post amateur questions! 💙 While I cannot make any promises because of how my brain works, I am almost ready to continue reading The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition. I just want to experiment a little bit with error handling, specifically how to handle wrong input (char VS. int, etc.) and also to learn to indentify code that runs the risk of overflow/underflow.
Question: what errors do you recommend checking for and handling?
Meanwhile, thank you all! 🥰
#include <stdio.h>
//Function declarations
int newPin();
int checkPin(int i);
//Program that prompts for, verifies and saves pins temporarily into an array
int main() {
//New pin
int pin = 0;
//History
int history[10] = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};
int history_limit = 10;
int history_index = 0;
printf("Hello there! What would you like to do? (V)iew your saved pins, (S)ave a new pin or (E)xit: ");
int choice = 0;
while ((choice = getchar()) != EOF) {
switch (choice) {
case ('V'): { //Display saved pins
printf("\nYour saved pins are:\n\n");
for (int i = 0; i < history_limit; i++) printf("%d\n", history[i]);
printf("\nWhat would you like to do next? (V)iew your saved pins, (S)ave a new pin or (E)xit: ");
break;
}
case('S'): { //Prompt for and verify newly entered pin
pin = newPin();
if (checkPin(pin) == pin) {
history[history_index] = pin;
history_index++;
if (history_index >= history_limit) history_index = 0;
}
break;
}
case ('E'): goto EXIT; //Terminate program
}
}
EXIT: printf("\nGoodbye!\n");
return 0;
}
//Function definitions
//Prompt user to enter a new pin
int newPin() {
int pin = 0;
printf("This enter your pin: ");
scanf("%d", &pin);
getchar();
return pin;
}
//Verify newly entered pin
int checkPin (int i) {
int check = 0;
printf("Confirm your new pin: ");
while((scanf("%d", &check)) != EOF) {
if (check != i) printf("Mismatch! Confirm your new pin: ");
else if (check == i) {
printf("Success! Your new pin is %d. What would you like to do next? (V)iew your saved pins, (S)ave a new pin or (E)xit: ", i);
goto EXIT;
}
}
EXIT: return i;
}
//TODO
//Error handling (overflow, input data type, other?)


It’s in case you have to change those values later, you will probably miss one instance and get issues down the line. It also makes it more readable for other people (or yourself in a few months lol)
