Thread: Simple question about the C programming tutorial #1

well, I' running linux, and compiling with gcc, how I tried the variables example program in the first tutorial for C programming on this website, and something funny happens when I run the program. Here is the code exactly how it is copy/pasted from the tutorial

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int this_is_a_number;

  printf( "Please enter a number: " );
  scanf( "%d", &this_is_a_number );
  printf( "You entered %d", this_is_a_number );
  getchar();
  return 0;
}

now when I compile this, and ./ the program, I get this...

beatzz@AMD5200:~/haxor$ ./var
Please enter a number: 22
You entered 22beatzz@AMD5200:~/haxor$
beatzz@AMD5200:~/haxor$


see how after hitting enter, after entering the number 22, it outputs the next line of code along with my usual shell prompt?

You entered 22beatzz@AMD5200:~/haxor$

why? I have tried adding in a /n after the %d in the code, to no avail. No other idea, can someone provide some simple help for a simple question?
