Thread: Sting and Char Funny Problem

I try to get Strng first then get Character from user. But it wont work, the process of getting character will be skipped. But when i try get char first then string, it works! Please assist. TY

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (){
	
	char singleChar;
	char text[30]={0};
	int count;
	
	printf("String:");
	scanf("%s", text);
	
	printf("Character:");
	scanf("%c", &singleChar);
	//singleChar will automatically proceed without getting input from user
	//But when Char is get before String, No problem.
	
//Test Result
	printf("\nCharacter: %c\n",singleChar);
	printf("String: %s\n",text);

}

You're being tripped up by the newline char that scanf() leaves behind in the income stream (keyboard buffer).

Add:
getchar();

After the first scanf(), and all will be well.

Referring to message 1...
On line 13 ad a single space between the " and %c ... scanf(" %c".... This will tell scanf to skip over anything left in the input buffer.

Thanks. Both of them works. I love the 2nd one
