Program is running well when use int but when I use char it starts skipping line-CodePudding

I am new to c coding, my program is running well when use int data type, but when I use char it starts skipping line.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int i;
    char k[10];
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i  ) {
        printf("enter your character for line %d: \n", i);
        scanf("%c", &k[i]);
    }
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i  ) {
        printf("your character for line %d are %c \n", i, k[i]);
    }

    return 0;
}

CodePudding user response：

Well, when you press Enter you are writting 'new line' character to program's input.
And because it's character, %c is reading it.

Specifier %c doesn't consume spaces like other specifiers, so you have to explicitly tell scanf to skip whitespaces, by adding space before %c, so you will have " %c" as format.

EDIT: Be aware that this way you can't read space or tabs from user's input.
