fgets doesn't work after scanf [duplicate]

Answer 1

I know this is very old. I'm new to c and wanted to check my method, which uses getchar:

#include 

int main()
{

    printf("Please enter your name\n");
    char string[10];

    scanf("%s", string);
    printf("Hello %s\n", string);

    //getchar();  # un commenting this line, fgets perfectly works!!
    printf("Please enter your name again\n");

    fgets ( string, 10, stdin );     

    printf("Hello again %s", string);

    getchar();
}
