im trying to ask the user to enter there family names and ages into a database
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAX 100

/* proto functions *******************/
void print( void );          
void load_family ( void );
void load_ages ( void );
/**********************************/

struct family {             // family database
       char name[BUFSIZ];
       char gender[BUFSIZ];
       int age;
       } tree[BUFSIZ];

char name[BUFSIZ];  // global name

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    
int i;
printf( "what is your name : " );  
fgets ( name , sizeof ( name ), stdin );    

print();  // print function to display
load_family();  // load function to load all the family names into database
       
    
  getchar();	
  return 0;
}

/************** print function *************************/
void print ( void ) {
printf("*********************************************\n" );
printf( "%55s" ," ** welcome to the family catolog **\n" );

}
/****************** attempt to fill database **************************/

void load_family ( void ) {
     int i;
     char ch;
     printf( "%s enter the all the names of your family.\n" , name );
     printf( "hit enter after each name ( q to stop ) : \n");
     for ( i = 0; i < MAX; ++i) {
     fgets ( tree[i].name , sizeof ( name ), stdin );
     ch = getche();
     if ( ch == 'q' )
     load_ages();
     
  }
}
/************** load ages function into database*************************//////
void load_ages ( void ) {
     int i ;
     char ch;
     printf( "\n%s Now we will enter the ages of the family you entered!.\n" , name );
     printf( "hit enter after each age ( q to stop ) :\n ");
     for ( i = 0; i < MAX; ++i) {
     printf ( "family member :  %s ", tree[i].name );
     puts("enter the age now!");
     scanf ("%s" , &tree[i].age );
     ch = getche();
     if ( ch == 'q' )
     break;
  }
}
output:
Code:
what is your name : luke
*********************************************
                   ** welcome to the family catolog **
luke
 enter the all the names of your family.
hit enter after each name ( q to stop ) :
anakin
padme
leia
q
luke
 Now we will enter the ages of the family you entered!.
hit enter after each age ( q to stop ) :
 family member :  anakin
 enter the age now!
23
family member :  adme
 enter the age now!
17
family member :  eia
 enter the age now!
26
family member :   enter the age now!
as you can see i have to hit enter twice and it leaves off the first character in the name.
what am i doing wrong?
