Problem with char

[stringk]

Hey, I'm new to C programming and am having trouble reading in characters from the keyboard. When I call the function (below), I can enter three characters before the compiler skips to the next part of my program. I know it should be very basic, but I'm not sure if its a problem with my laptop.

void char_test() {
    char a, b, c, d, e, f;
    
    scanf("%c",&a);
    scanf("%c",&b);
    scanf("%c",&c);
    scanf("%c",&d);
    scanf("%c",&e);
    scanf("%c",&f);
}

I've simplified it as much as I can to try to figure it out myself.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Each one of those says to enter 1 character at a time. The enter key counts as one character.

Wow, thank you.
