If y is declared as char*, this will read it in as a string, with no
check for
overflow.
If y is a char, you need scanf("%c", &y) or y=getchar();.
In either case, result will be set to the number of characters read;
this is unlikely to be what you want, judging purely from the name
of the variable.

This suggests serious confusion. Please post a minimal example of what
you are trying to do.

You can't (directly) compare int's with char*'s in any sensible way/
