getchar won't take any input after scanf

[pshirishreddy]

hello,

Its a come back for me to this forum after a long time,
I have got this weird problem that getchar wont function after two successive scanf's

#include <stdio.h>
main(){
	int a;
	int b;
	int c;
	scanf("%d",&a);
	scanf("%d",&b);
	while((c=getchar())!='\n')
		putchar(c);
	printf("%d %d",a,b);
}

I do know that scanf doesn't flush input stream, and can i get any other neat way to code this. where i can even take the input from the get char. i observed the same problem even while using "fgets" instead of getchar


thanks in advance

This question happened yesturday, and it often happens a few times a week. This is because scanf("%d") will leave a '\n' in the input buffer. Read this thread, there are a few good solutions offered and explained:

fgetchar() doesnt work
