Thread: [Urgent] Can't recognize the last counter?

Hey all, I just joined the forum! My name is Sam.
I have an assignment due in a few hours, and I can't seem to figure out why my C program won't read the last unsigned int.

On line 23, the last variable (unsigned int spartyCount = 0 isn't read. Once I enter the letter M in the second switch, once I exit out (by hitting Y and the Z), the printf doesn't count up the number of times I hit M.

The same thing happens for any int that's on the bottom of the list of integers. If wolvCount was on the bottom of the list, the letter W would not be counted into the last printf statement, either.

I have attached the C program file below.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

/*
You shall fix the following program and the program must also do the following:
    add up all of the times for Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons or school
    add a new section called S
        then ask for Grizzly, Wolverine or Sparty
    At the end of the program:
        print out how many for each catagory
        Fix the problem with the dafault option

int main( void )
{
    char team;
    unsigned int tigerCount = 0;
    unsigned int wingCount = 0;
    unsigned int pistCount = 0;
    char team2;
    unsigned int grizzCount = 0;
    unsigned int wolvCount = 0;
    unsigned int spartyCount = 0;


    printf("Enter T for Tigers, R for Red Wings, or P for Pistons.\n");
    printf("The loop will end once Z is entered.\n");

    do
    {
        scanf("%s", &team);
        printf("You entered team %c.\n", team);
        switch(team)
        {
            case 'T':
                printf("Tigers are da bomb.\n");
                tigerCount++;

%s needs to point to at least TWO characters if you intend to store anything useful.

> The same thing happens for any int that's on the bottom of the list of integers.
A sure sign that data is being overwritten when you type in your responses.

One way - read into a string capable of holding a single character.
char team[2];
scanf("%s",team);

Another way, use the %c format like so.
char team;
scanf(" %c",&team); // NB: leading space is very important.
