Hello. I am writing a program that prompts the user to enter 5 characters and then prints them in a wedge shaped like ">". This is my code:
When I compile and run the program, however, after inputting the first character and pressing enter, "Second character: Third character: " prints all at once, and then "Fourth character: Fifth character: " prints all at once, as well. Can someone help me understand why it is not going along one command at a time?Code:#include <stdio.h> int main() { char first, second, third, fourth, fifth; printf("First character: "); scanf("%c", &first); printf("Second character: "); scanf("%c", &second); printf("Third character: "); scanf("%c", &third); printf("Fourth character: "); scanf("%c", &fourth); printf("Fifth character: "); scanf("%c", &fifth); printf("%c", first); printf("%3c", second); printf("%5c", third); printf("%3c", fourth); printf("%c\n", fifth); return 0; }
Thanks,
Steve
