it points to the first caracter scanf did not return (if you pressed "abc\n" your getchar will return '\n')
you can solve the problem easely by adding
fseek(stdin,0,SEEK_END);
before using getchar()
by the way the solution
while ((num=getchar())<=32); // do nothing
is a buggy one because if the user enter
"ABC D" (note the space between the C and the D)
you will get 'D'. It also don't authorize the user to enter ' ' (and
I don't see any reason for that)
By the way, I think some people here under estimate programming. If
we had more programming
question/answer maybe we would already have a good hebrew support.

Hi,
I have a small C program wich i compile with GNU C Compiler 2.8.1 and 2.7.
and i got the same result in both times.#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
main()
{
char str[10];
int num;
scanf("%s",str);
printf("scanf accept %s\n",str);
num=getchar();
printf("getchar accept %c\n",num);
}For some reason "getchat()" accept Null string and do'nt prompt for the user.
