Thread: Multi tasking - Printing problem!

Hello everyone! I have lately started learning multi-tasking to use it in my project, but I have a small problem while printing messages. I have 3 tasks that I want to run at the same time.
1-) Countdown
2-) Printing time
3-) Whatever function, printing a message and asking for a value.

Here is my code:

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#define TRUE 1

int minutes = 0;
int seconds = 0;
int value;


DWORD countdown() {

    while(TRUE) {

        printf("\r \t\t %2dm : %2ds",minutes,seconds);
        Sleep(1000);
        seconds++;

        if(seconds == 60) {
            minutes++;
            seconds = 0;
        }
    }
}


DWORD print_time() {
    while (TRUE) {
        printf("\r \t\t %2dm : %2ds", minutes, seconds);
    }
}


DWORD whatever() {
    printf("Please enter a value:");
    scanf("%d",&value);
}


int main() {

    HANDLE thread1,thread2,thread3;
    thread1 = CreateThread(NULL, 0, countdown, "", 0, NULL);
    thread2 = CreateThread(NULL, 0, print_time, "", 0, NULL);
    thread3 = CreateThread(NULL, 0, whatever, "", 0, NULL);

    WaitForSingleObject(thread1, INFINITE);
    WaitForSingleObject(thread2, INFINITE);
    WaitForSingleObject(thread3, INFINITE);

}

Expected results:
0m:10s Please enter a value: 123
All on the same line.

However, the results that I get are:
0m:10s3 Please enter a value:

So as you can see, it writes the last character of the value after printing the time and not after the message. So the text is being overwritten. I think the problem is from \r but I am not sure though.

I hope someone could help me. Thanks and happy new year!

Ahh. And how do I fix that?
