Getting user input into program in the form of int or char

[psppb]

I need help getting user input this is the best I can think of:

int drug_choice_selection;     
      char drug_choice[100];
      printf("How Much? \n");
                 
      fgets(drug_choice, sizeof(drug_choice), stdin);
      sscanf(drug_choice, "%d", &drug_choice_selection);

If I wanted to extract a single char from user input what is the easiest way to do it?

1.Choose a number/char
2. enter it...
3. use it in the program



Thanks

getchar()

[edit] This would be a good time to get acquainted with the ASCII table, if you haven't already.
