Nice program, Sasha. :)

Why should it be a problem? %d format reads a number and leaves everything after it in the stream, next %d skips all whitespaces - spaces, \t,\n and starts reading on the first non-space character.

How could it skip number?

Thanks for commenting on my post. It looks like scanf() only retains the new-line character if the input being read in is of type char. Is that correct?

Yes. The newline is skipped over as whitespace, when scanf() is expecting a number. It can't do that for char's however, since a newline is really just two char's, put together (for Windows and DOS, at least):

10 Carriage return + 13 Line feed

I prefer the term "accepts as input" rather than "retains it", however - since scanf() doesn't retain anything. It either accepts and assigns the input, or it does not.

It's like Yoda: "Do or do not" :)

Understood. Thanks a lot:-))
