If statements not working?

You’re confusing the assignment operator = with the equals operator ==. Write this instead:

if (battlechoice == 4)

And so on.

Some C programmers use “Yoda conditionals” to avoid accidentally using assignment in these cases:

if (4 == battlechoice)

For example this won’t compile, catching the mistake:

if (4 = battlechoice)
