SCANF()
scanf() skips whitespace for most formats like %d, %f, and %s, but not for %c. To avoid reading leftover whitespace (like newlines) when using %c, add a space before %c in the format string
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int num;
char ch;
scanf("%d", &num);
scanf(" %c", &ch); // Note the space before %c
printf("Number: %d, Character: %c\n", num, ch);
return 0;
}
* (space before %c): Skips any whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines) before
reading the character.
