scanf() function doesn't work? [duplicate]

Answer 1

First of all, scanf works when used as directed. I think the following code does what you want. Stdout is flushed so that user is prompted to enter an integer or a character. Using %1s allows white space like \n.

int main()
{

  char c[2];
  int i;

  printf("i: ");
  fflush(stdout);
  scanf("%d", &i);

  printf("c: ");
  fflush(stdout);
  scanf("%1s", &c);

  printf("\ni = %d, c = %c", i, c[0]);

  return 0;

}

This code was tested/run on an Eclipse/Microsoft C compiler.
