fgets issue

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

void avg_min (double *, int *, FILE *);

int main (void)
{

        double avg, preavg, postavg, quizavg;
        int min, premin, postmin, quizmin, check;
        double finalgrade;
        int choice = 1;
        int counter= 0;
        FILE *out;
        char student_name[30]={""};
        char *inputptr;

        out = fopen("results.txt","a");

  while (choice == 1)
  {
    printf("1. Next student\n");
    printf("2. Done\n");
    printf("Enter choice:");
    scanf("%d",&choice);

    switch (choice)
    {

      case 1:

      printf("Enter the student's name:");
      inputptr = fgets (student_name, 30, stdin);
      printf( inputptr );
      if( inputptr != NULL)
      {
        printf( inputptr );
        //fputs (student_name, out);
      }

in case 1, when fgets() is called it does not wait for user input and continues on to next lines of code. I'm not sure why it is doing this.

This

Code:

---

scanf("%d",&choice);

---

is leaving the newline character in the input buffer.

ah ok.
