First scanf() skips next scanf() !

I have an input at the beginning of the program, which asks for a character, and a second input soon after.

When you input the character and press return, it runs through the rest of the program, skipping the next scanf(), not allowing the user to input.

This problem occurs with either scanf() or getchar().
Can anyone make a suggestion?

Try reading this thread, and the links provided in it.

you will probably have to flush the stream before the second scanf()

Probably not.

fflush(stdin) before the second scanf because the scanf for the first one captures both the char and return key and treats them both as characters

Bennyho03- don't use fflush(stdin). read this-

With regard to the problem, the link so kindly provided by quzah should do the trick for you. If not then the problem could be elsewhere and seeing some code would help (just place the correct portion in [CODE] tags
