scanf function seems to be skipped in c

Question

I am new to c language, and I tried this code below, but it seems scanf has been skipped, when I run this code, it only asked me enter name and age and skipped the lines bel

Answer 1

You can do the following for all scanfs.

scanf("%c\n",&smth);

And then enter the values one by one separating them by newlines (press Enter).

This helped me too when I had the same problem.

scanf("%c*",&smth);

That makes scanf skip any other characters that a user might input, including newlines.

Note: use appropriate format strings for each type (%s for strings, %d for integers, etc).
