Thread: Char return value

I am having y returned instead of the actuall char entered by the user. What am I doing wrong?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#define SIZE 8 /* Size of board*/

/* function prototype */
void display(char board[] [SIZE]);
int valid_moves(char board[] [SIZE], int moves[] [SIZE], char player);

void main()
{
	char board [SIZE] [SIZE] ={ 0 }; /* The board*/
	int moves[SIZE] [SIZE] ={0}; /* valid moves */
	int row = 0;
	int col = 0;
	char queenie = 'Q';	/* user selection*/
	char y =0;		/* column letter*/
	int x =0;		/* row number*/
	char player = 'Q';

	 /* empty all the squares */
	for(row = 0; row < SIZE; row++)
	  for(col = 0; col < SIZE; col++)
	    board[row] [col] = ' ';

	

	display(board);		/* display the board */
	fflush(stdin);		/*flush the buffer: keyboard--stdin*/
	printf("please enter the row and column to place the queen:");
	scanf("%d%c", &x, &y);
	printf("%x %y\n",x ,y);  /*here is the error it returns y instead of the actuall char entered*/
	board[x][y]='Q';
	display(board);	
	if(x<0 && y<0 || x>SIZE && y>SIZE)
	{
		printf(" That is an invalid entry!\n");
	}
	/*else &x*/
}

/* display board funtion definition*/
void display(char board[] [SIZE])
{
	int row = 0;	/* row index */
	int col = 0;	/* col index */
	char col_label = 'a';		/* column label */

	printf("\n ");	/*start top line */
	for(col = 0; col<SIZE; col++)
	printf("   %c", col_label+col);    /* display the top line*/
	printf("\n");  	/*end of top line*/

/*display  the intermediate rows*/
 	for(row = 0; row < SIZE; row++)
	{
	printf("   +");
	for(col = 0; col<SIZE; col++)
	printf("---+");
	printf("\n%2d|",row + 1);

	for(col = 0; col< SIZE; col++)
	printf(" %c |", board[row][col]); 	/* display counters in row*/
	printf("\n");
	}

	printf("   +");	/*start the bottom line*/
	for(col = 0; col<SIZE ; col++)
	printf("---+");	/*display the bottom line*/
	printf("\n");	/* end bottom line*/
	}

Code:

scanf("%d%c", &x, &y);
printf("%x %y\n",x ,y);  /*here is the error it returns y instead of the actuall char entered*/

Code:

scanf("%d",&x);
scanf("%c",&y);   /*if char y;*/
printf("%d%c",x,y);

theres no such thing as %y and %x

OK. Thanks, I must have been asleep.
