Do-while code for long integer input

[admin]

It is mentioned in the problem:

American Express uses 15-digit numbers, MasterCard uses 16-digit numbers, and Visa uses 13- and 16-digit numbers.

So with get_long, I perhaps need to restrict input integers by user from 13 to 16 digits.The objective is met for smaller integers such as between 10 and 99.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>
int main(void)
{
int input;
do
    {
      input = get_long("enter");
    }
while (input<10 || input>99); 

}

			

 

Seeking help for ways I can restrict input of integers from 13 to 16 digit numbers. While I can accept input from 10 to 99, not working when instead of 10, replaced with 1000000000000 and 99 replaced with 9999999999999999.

Okay after replacing int with long, indeed I could accept input from 13 to 16 digit numbers.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
long input;

    {
      input = get_long("enter");
    }
while (input<1000000000000 || input>9999999999999999); 
}
