    Try calling this function after every scanf call. You should probably get rid of this problem.

    Code:
    void clr_ln_buffer( void )
    {
         int c;
         
         while( ( ch = getchar() ) != EOF && ch != '\n' );
    }
    It does the same job, like what other have been saying.

    @ssharish2005: I imagine that's what the OP's eat_newline() function ended up looking like. Oh, and by the way, half the time your code uses "c" and the other half "ch".
