lil problem, i'm an idiot

[blindleaf]

ok why does my program not even allow me to enter in a character for the "c" variable?

heres the code:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
     int board[30][30] = {{0}, {0}};
     int b_rows, b_cols;
     char gem[27];
     int gem_value[27];
     char c;

     scanf("%d%d", &b_rows, &b_cols);
     printf("Rows = %d Cols = %d\n", b_rows, b_cols);

     printf("Enter a Character: ");
     scanf("%c", &c);
     printf("%c", c);
     return 0;
}

here's the output:

4 5
Rows = 4 Cols = 5
Enter a Character:
%

its not even allowing me to enter a character in, what simple thing am i missing?

Look up flushing the input buffer.

Must be reading the newline from your first scanf.

see if doing the following works.

printf("Enter a Character: ");
scanf("%*c%c", &c);
