This Program is basically prompting the user to enter information such as name,address,province,city,country etc and then validating the information,
I have two functions, one called promptInformation which takes in the name,address,province,city,country and postal code, this function basically prompts the user information, my other function validate information has the same parameters as prompt information, this function basically checks to see if the name,address,province,city,country and postal code are entered and if they are then it checks the country variable and if the country variable is canada it displays the name,address,province,city,country and postal code in red, and if its US it displays the information in blue.
My problem is when the user does enter the correct information it isnt going into the else block? why is that? I changed the null to "" one time and it did go into the else block but it didnt go into the check for the country, so what is the problem here?
Here is my code:
