how did you declare your variable "value"?

Another thing I've just noticed - you have in your printf for the user to enter a number or a name - but your scanf isn't set up to read strings. If they enter a full name, it'll just read the first character and leave the rest in the input buffer. You can fix it by asking the user to enter a number or a letter (easiest), or declaring value as a string and using %s in scanf to read (trickier).
