which function is used to clear the buffer stream on gcc?
for example:
I wrote following code on gcc
#include<stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char ch;
int a,b;
printf("\nenter two numbers:\t");
scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);
printf("enter number is %d and %d",a,b);
printf("\nentercharacter:\t");
scanf("%c",&ch);
printf("enter character is %c",ch);
return 0;
}

in above progarm ch could not be scan.
why?plz tell me solution.

Answer Posted / nikhil

after scanning integers if we scan character this happens.
it is a bug of scanf
so to solve this give a space in scanf before %c like this :
scanf(" %c",&ch);
so that it will wait for the character.
