Hi all,
I have two doubts relating to the following code.
1. In the above code if i remove the fpurge() function then i am not able to input the character (i.e.,) the scanf() for getting the character got skippedCode:#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int i; char c; printf("Enter some integer value:"); scanf("%d",&i); __fpurge(stdin); printf("Enter some character:"); scanf("%c",&c); printf("Input values are %d and %c\n",i,c); return 0; }
2. When i look into the man page for fpurge() it states that this function is not a standard one and also not portable, so i thought i can use fflush(stdin) but when i used fflush instead of fpurge the code works the same way i discussed in first step.
Why is this behaviour happening?
