the point of getchar is it pulls a char and returns it, which is all you need. so:
getchar(); works well enough. it'll let you press enter before the program closes. On 4/13/2011 7:10 PM, ashish rohtagi wrote:
hi Ken, you are god! it worked like a charm! thanks. now please tell me how to use getchar? take care, regards. ashish On 4/14/11, ashish rohtagi<ashishrohtagi1969@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:sorry, I corrected the mistake about printf and scanf. thanks for the advice. take care, regards. ashish On 4/14/11, Littlefield, Tyler<tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I'm sorry, getch should be getchar. Also: it's fairly bad coding style to put a printf on the same line as a scanf. Unless you have good reason, try to keep your code separated. It makes it easier to read and people don't miss things quite as easily.

It's job is to hold the program open at the end, so it should be the last statement before return, which ends the program.

Here's what's happening: You open the process, and the first scanf call blocks; that is to say, it will not process anything, it is simply waiting for the user to input something. But after it's done printing, there is no reason why it should stay open because you don't tell it to. So run from the command prompt, use getch() to let you hit enter before it closes or use another scanf.

CIV NAVAIR 1490, 1, 26 <jude.dashiell@xxxxxxxx> wrote:You didn't put your printf statement in your message, but let me make a guess. You didn't put a (\n) in before the closing quote mark so you just put text on the screen without a line ending. That could be one contributing factor. Another might be you didn't put an #include <stdio.h> statement in at the top of your program and maybe used #include<conio.h>. If that's the case, don't use printf with conio.h unless you also include stdio.h. For conio.h, cprintf is the function you want.
