Hi

The following program should ask for a character to be input near the end

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
 char string[20];
 unsigned int number;
 char test;

 printf("Enter a string: ");
 scanf("%s", &string);

 printf("Enter a number: ");
 scanf("%u", &number);

 printf("Enter a character: ");
 scanf("%c", &test);


 printf("%s %u %c",string,number,test);

 return 0;
}

I compile the code and run it. The line containing scanf("%c", &test); is
skipt!! can someone tell me the exact reason for this?
