fflush and fgetc question

Code:

int i;

while(1)
{
   fflush(stdin);
   i=fgetc(stdin);
   printf("%d\n",i);
}

i want to read the first character of the string i enter:
for example if I enter "1\n" it reads both the chars (2 cycles of the while) why doesn't the fflush resolve this?

> why doesn't the fflush resolve this?
Because it's undefined?
Because you haven't read the FAQ?

ok... i understand now that. but how can I fix it without fflush(stdin) ?

What do you want to fix?

Perhaps
if ( i != '\n' ) printf("%d\n",i);

Or read a line using fgets(), then parse that line to decide whether you're interested in each character (or not).
