The %d in your scanf means 'format input from the keyboard into a decimal' (i.e. a number), which is why it probably isn't working. If you want to be more flexible, try something like:
This will read the input into a string of characters. Of course, this isn't a good solution if you really need it to reply to a single keypress. If you can tell me more about what you need it to do I can probably suggest more. :)
char input[80];scanf("%s", input);This will read the input into a string of characters. Of course, this isn't a good solution if you really need it to reply to a single keypress. If you can tell me more about what you need it to do I can probably suggest more. :)
scanf relies on the format specification to determine how to interpret the data entered. Mismatches between that specification and the actual data entered can cause extra data to remain in the buffer, or too little to be placed. For example, the %d specification indicates an integer, which is 32 bits wide in most contemporary environments. Entering a character yields the integral interpretation of that character, which is only an 8-bit ASCII code. scanf still expects 24 more bits, so it waits, or something like that.
The robust way to handle this is to always read input as a string and then parse that string for data.

`_getch()' is not a part of either C or C++.
To the OP: Try getchar() and then use '0', '1', ... .
