scanf problem?

[dynamethod]

Hey there, ill start off by saying im quite fresh with C, but im trying

I'm having a problem with some code here:

/* Program:	Course Project - CD Inventory
 * Version: 	1.0
 * Author: 	Joe
 * 
 * This program is used to track its inventory of CD's
 * 
 * Version 1.0
 * 	- Only Reads input from user, and displays input
 * 	- Only Reads in Title/Artist/Number of Tracks/(Album or Single)/Price
 * 	- Does not save user input once program has finished
 * 	- Only stores infomation about ONE CD
 */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h> 	// string library to access string functions

int main(void)
{
    char Title[101];	// Store track Title, extra 1 for NULL char
    char Artist[101];	// Store Artist Name, extra 1 for NULL char
    short nTracks;	// Store No. of Tracks				
    short Album; 	// Store Album/Singles as int
    char type;		// For figuring out Albulm or single
    float Price;	// Store price as double to store cents as well
	
	
    printf("\n******** CD Inventory v 1.0 ********\n");
	
    /* The title */
    
    printf("Please enter the Title of the CD: ");
    scanf("%s", Title);

    /* The artist */

    printf("Please enter the Artist: ");
    scanf("%s", Artist);

    /* The tracks */
	
    printf("Please enter the Number of tracks on the CD: ");
    scanf("%d", &nTracks);
	
    /* The Price */
	
    printf("Please enter the Price of the CD: $ ");
    scanf("%f", &Price);
	
    /* Album or Single */
	
    printf("Album or Single? Type a for album or s for single: ");
    scanf("%c", &type);
    Album = type == 'a';
	
    /* Output of CD details */

    printf("\n========== CD Details =========\n"); 
    printf("Title: %s\n", Title);
    printf("Artist: %s\n", Artist);
    printf("Tracks: %d\n", nTracks);
    printf("Price: $%.2f\n", Price);
    
    if(Album)
        printf("Album\n");
    else
        printf("Single\n");
		
    getchar();
    
    return 0;
}

Problem being that after the program asks for the price of the CD, it skips the code:

/* Album or Single */
	
printf("Album or Single? Type a for albulm or s for single: ");
scanf("%c", &type);
Album = type == 'a';

And i have no idea why, it's driving me crazy, help MUCH appreciated!

As many beginners you forgot to use '&'.

[MacGyver]

Use fgets() to read strings (and remember to strip the newline char), not scanf().

Try putting a getchar() before the scanf() to read a char. A newline char is probably still left in the input buffer from your previous scanf() calls.

Ahhh ok i see, thanks for that, the getchar() worked perfectly!
