Thread: exit program

The safest thing to do, if you MUST use scanf(), is to immediately remove the left over newline char, from the input buffer:

Code:

scanf("%s", string)
getchar(); //removes the newline char, will NOT halt and wait for input
scanf("%c", &myChar) //now myChar has clean input steam.
(void) getchar(); //another way, if the plain getchar() gives you warnings

/* to remove several char's from the input stream */
while((ch=getchar()) != '\n');

system("pause"); // is a poor habit to get into.
