scanf behaving abnormally

Hello,
I am writing a program in which user enters number of coordinates and then coordinate values, and then it enters number of queries and then queries, here is the partial code..

Code:

---


#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int i,j,Q;
    scanf("%d",&Q);

    int queries[Q][2];
    char qtype[Q];

    for(i=0; i<Q; i++)
    {
        //this portion is troubling......
        scanf("%c %d %d",&qtype[i],&queries[i][0],&queries[i][1]);
    }

    printf("\n");
    for(i=0; i<Q; i++)
    {
        printf("Query is %c %d %d\n",qtype[i],queries[i][0],queries[1]);
    }

    return 0;
}

---

Now suppose i take Q as 2 then it only asks me once instead of asking twice...

I want inputs to be
2 //value of Q
M 2 4
S 4 5
But it's not working as expected.. i can't figure out how to fix it...

**Thnx!!**

Try the below code; the space before the %c should skip the newline.

Code:

---

scanf(" %c %d %d",&qtype[i],&queries[i][0],&queries[i][1]);

Thnx! it solved my problem... :wink:
