Ok, I will try and re-specify my problem
Basically Im trying to get a simple prompt being displayed (via printf() ) and have a user respond to it accordingly (via scanf() ).
However this is difficult because the prompt is not being displayed, and previous input I entered in (via another printf() and scanf() ) seems to appear in its place.
Does this make sense
