    values not being switched inside the switch case structure

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>
    typedef struct noode
    {
        int data;
        struct noode *next;
    }node;
    void insertf(node **head,int data)
    {
        node* newn=malloc(sizeof(struct noode));
        newn->data=data;
        newn->next=*head;
        *head=newn;
    }
    void insertm(node *prev ,int data)
    {
        node * newn=malloc(sizeof(struct noode));
        if(prev == NULL)
            printf("\nno more space for the data to be inserted");
        newn->data=data;
        newn->next=prev->next;
        prev->next=newn;
    
    
    }
    void insertl(node** head,int data)
    {
         node *last=*head;
        node* newn = malloc(sizeof(struct noode));
        newn->data=data;
        if(*head==NULL)
        {
            *head=newn;
        }
        while(last->next!=NULL)
    
    
            last=last->next;
        last->next=newn;
    }
    void print(node *nod)
    {
        while(nod != NULL)
        {
            printf("%d ",nod->data);
            nod=nod->next;
        }
    }
    int main()
    {
        char choice,data;
        node *head=NULL;
        do
        {
            printf("\n 1 insert element at first");
            printf("\n 2 insert element at middle ");
            printf("\n 3 insert the element at the last");
            printf("\n 4 display");
            printf("\n 5 exit");
            printf("\nenter the choice");
            scanf(" %c",&choice);
            switch(choice)
            {
                case 1: printf("insert element at first");
                        scanf(" %c",&data);
                        insertf(&head,data);
                        break;
    
    
                case 2: printf(" insert element at mid");
                           scanf(" %c",&data);
                           insertm(head->next,data);
                           break;
                case 3: printf("insert the element at last");
                        scanf(" %c" ,&data);
                        insertl(& head,data);
                        break;
                case 4 : print(head);
                           break;
                case 5: break;
                default: printf("not a choice");
                          break;
            }
        }while(choice !=5);
        return 0;
    }
    the values are not being switched inside the switch case structure,it asks for my choice and then always ends up at the default case, no matter what choice you enter . How can I fix this?

    Recall that '1' is unlikely to be equal in value to 1.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
