Unexpected behaviour of a simple C program

Hi everybody
I cannot understand why I cannot insert the second char variable.
The program goes from the first character input directly to the first integer input.

Attachment 15665

The program is written using codeBlocks 17.12.
Can anybody help me?
Cheers

Why are you reading names as single chars rather than as strings?

Anyway, the problem is that when you enter the first char, that enter is read as the second char, so it is read before you can actually enter your second char.

Thanks for your reply.
If that is the problem, I cannot understand how to prevent it to happen while maintainig the structure of the program with those two distinct questions.
Btw I used char variables because I just ask 1 letter at the time.
Cheers

Basically, the idea is that you need to read and discard the newline from the enter. This can be done by changing the format string for reading the second char to add a leading space to match the whitespace:

Code:

---

scanf(" %c", &last);

It works!
Thank you!
