Pardon me if I'm way off base (seeing as I am a newbie myself), but I think what happens is that your loop waits for a keypress (getchar()), checks to see if c=='x', then breaks regardless -- your if statement ends in a semicolon, thus you are doing nothing if the if statement is true -- (I think) you need to drop that semicolon.
 
Hope that helps!

When I run this code it exits after any key I press. What am I doing wrong?

#include 

main ( )
{
int c;

printf ("Enter a character:\n(Enter x to exit\n");
while (1) 
{
c = getchar ( );
if (c == 'x');
break; 
}
printf ("Exiting the loop now!\n");
return 0;
}

Thanks
