Thread: Multiple printf/scanf code issue

Hello!

I'm attempting to write another program from Let us C book.

Below I'm pasting just a part of the code that is problematic for me:

Code:

main(){
    int age;
    char male, city, healthy;
    printf("what is the age of the person? ");
    scanf("%d", &age);
    printf("is the person male? ");
    scanf ("%c", &male);
    printf("is the person living in the city? ");
    scanf("%c", &city);
    printf("is the person of excellent health? ");
    scanf("%c", &healthy);
}

The problem is that when i execute the code, the first printf function is displayed and when i enter the value, the second and third printf function are displayed at the same time, while I'd like the next printf function to be displayed only after i had answered the question before.

Is there anything wrong in the code that prevents that from happening? Or maybe I need some more advanced commands that I haven't read about yet?

I'm using Code::Blocks to compile the program.

Thank you in advance!
