hello,

I have observe a strange scanf behaviour...
when using two successive scanf... the second receive a return character

for example :

int a;
char b;

scanf ("%d", &a);
fflush (stdin);
scanf ("%c", &b);
fprintf (stdout, "a : %d\nb : %c\n", a, b);

what's the problem ?
is scanf using a buggy internal buffer ?
