Input in C. Scanf before gets. Problem
c, gets, input, scanf
Solution
Try:
scanf("%d\n", &a);
gets only reads the '\n' that scanf leaves in. Also, you should use fgets not gets: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/fgets/ to avoid possible buffer overflows.
Edit:
if the above doesn't work, try:
...
scanf("%d", &a);
getc(stdin);
...
Problem
I'm pretty new to C, and I have a problem with inputing data to the program. My code: ``` #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { int a; char b[20]; printf("Input your ID: "); scanf("%d", &a); printf("Input your name: "); gets(b); printf("---------"); printf("Name: %s", b); system("pause"); return 0; } ``` It allows to input ID, but it just skips the rest of the input. If I change the order like this: ``` printf("Input your name: "); gets(b); printf("Input your ID: "); scanf("%d", &a); ``` It will work. Although, I CANNOT change order and I need it just as-is. Can someone help me ? Maybe I need to use some other functions. Thanks!
