Second scanf is not working

Question

i am having trouble with this c language code:

 char st[2];

 printf(\"enter first value:\");
 scanf(\"%c\", &st[0]);

 printf(\"enter second value:\");
         


        

Answer 1

You're getting the implicit newline you entered as the second character, i.e. st[1] is getting the value '\n'. An easy way to fix this is to include the newline in the expected format string: scanf("%c\n", &st[0]);
