Ashish:
When u ask questions on list, if they pertain to an error message,
please include the error so we can better understand what's happening.
What I see a problem with is not your getchar();, but with the line
before, e.g.,
printf("%s's favorite color is %s\n",name,color);
This is something a beginner c programmer might not have encountered,
but an apostrophe has to be "escaped" with a backslash, like this:
printf("%s\'s favorite color is %s\n",name,color);
The reason for this is that apostrophes are used in C to denote a
character, like this:
ch = 'a';
Thus, u have to tell the compiler that this should literally be an apostrophe.
See if that doesn't help, ok?

Blame the computer--why not? It can't defend itself & occasionally
might even be the culprit
