The first in a set of data to be inputted is always skipped...
Ok so in the fuction service_data() the first input from the user is always skipped (gets(detail.type)) and the same thing happens in client_information() with the first input call (gets(data.firstname)). What is wrong here??
Code:
//*************************************Service Cost*************************************************
void service_data(void)
{
Client detail;
int hwcost=0;
char hw;
int swcost=0;
char sw;
int tcost=0;
int labourcost=0;
printf("****************************************************************************\n");
printf("*****************************Service Details********************************\n");
printf("****************************************************************************\n\n");
printf("Please enter whether PC is a laptop or Desktop\n");
gets(detail.type);
printf("Please enter the manufacturer\n");
gets(detail.brand);
printf("Please enter the PC's model number\n");
gets(detail.model_no);
gets(detail.ID);
printf("\n____________________________________________________________\n");
printf("\t\t\t------Service Cost\n");
printf("\n____________________________________________________________\n");
printf("Enter the hardware installed if any and separate each type by forward slash'/'\n");
printf("eg. CPU: Intel Core i7 2.6Ghz/ MOBO: ASUS RAMPAGE Z68LX/ RAM: 2X Corsair Vengance 8GB");
scanf("%c",&hw);
printf("Please enter the total cost of hardware\n");
scanf("%d", &hwcost);
printf("Enter the software installed if any and separate each type by forward slash'/'\n");
printf("eg. AV: bitdefender Internet Security 2012/ Office tools: Microsoft Office Student/ OS: Windows 8 home premium\n");
scanf("%c",&sw);
printf("Please enter the total cost of software\n");
scanf("%d",&swcost);
printf("Please enter the labour cost\n");
scanf("%d",&labourcost);
tcost= hwcost + swcost + labourcost;
printf("The total service cost is %d", tcost);
fp=fopen(Services,"a+");

}
