I know this may be basic, but the C programming book I am using doesn't help with it at all this is what Rhide 1.0 reports: Error: incompatible types in assignment printf("What is your login name? (10 letters max) \n"); printf("If you are new type New for login and Guest for password\n"); scanf(" %s",lgname); printf("what is your password? \n"); scanf(" %s",lgpass); if (" %s",lgname = "New") printf("welcome"); again sorry for this newbie question, but I am using my book as much as possible, there are some things it just doesn't cover
