Thread: Scanf Being skipped

I have the following code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>


int main(void)
{
	long Accounts[25];

		scanf("%8l",&Accounts[0]);
		scanf("%8l",&Accounts[1]);

	return 0;
}

The first scanf works but it is skipping over the second scanf. It will not ask for a second input. What is the problem?

if you type more than 8 characters at the first prompt, the excess will be applied to future scanf calls.

Look here

Use %ld not %l
