Hello everyone. I am frustrated, I have written the simple program
below for a class and I am having problems with the DO-WHILE loop. On
the first run through the loop, everything works well, the menu is
displayed, the input is registered and the loop runs. On the second
(and following) runs the menu is printed twice. I am sure there is
something very basic that I am missing, but I cannot see it. Can
anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Ken,
You probably have "leftover characters" in the input buffer following the
call to scanf() - I've seen this before with progs that mix scanf() and
getchar(). Easiest solution, for this program, is not to mix them. Flushing
the buffer would probably work too, but I've not tried it.
Regards,
-Pete.

Using function getchar leaves a '\n' char in stdin. A quick
fix would use function fgets in place of getchar. See below. ****Here is the code****

.... snip code ...
As usual the problem is the use of scanf for interactive input.
Think about what is left in the input stream after executing that
call. Also think about other methods of getting the users input
which allow you to be sure of the input stream condition.

the course" - John Kerry, 2004-09-20
"Ask any boat owner the eventual result of continuing the
present course indefinitely" - C.B. Falconer, 2004-09-20
The problem is of the clearence of the buffer:
Now when u enter the choice then after that u have to clear the buffer also.
As u know that *getchar* takes all the input into the buffer and then from
there it takes the value to the allocated mamory.
And the *getch* takes the each respective character and simultaneously stores
into the allocated memory. and once it over flows the memory sapsce a error
code is desplayed (this thing u have to handle manually)
So try to use the getch instead of getchar:
Or use the fflush function:
in this u will be handle the problem.
any way if u have the doubts then let me know.

There is no getch() in C. There's a getch() in curses, and one in conio;
neither is on-topic here, and in fact IIRC they behave similarly, but
not identically.
So try to use the getch instead of getchar:
Do not do this.
Or use the fflush function:
You can't fflush() an input stream.
All you need to do is filter out the newlines. With the hints of the
other posts in this thread, that shouldn't be hard.

Not until the whole loop iterates again, confusing the user just as it
did the OP.
