read-waiting for user response

Would there be any reason for why a 'read ans' would not wait for a user's response (i.e user has to hit a key to continue)? I know for sure that it is doing everything else in that part of my 'if' statement but it doesn't wait for me to hit a key before continuing. The strange thing is that...

alarm

ALARM(2)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							  ALARM(2)

NAME

       alarm - set an alarm clock for delivery of a signal

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       unsigned int alarm(unsigned int seconds);

DESCRIPTION

       alarm() arranges for a SIGALRM signal to be delivered to the calling process in seconds seconds.

       If seconds is zero, no new alarm() is scheduled.

       In any event any previously set alarm() is canceled.

RETURN VALUE

       alarm()	returns the number of seconds remaining until any previously scheduled alarm was due to be delivered, or zero if there was no pre-
       viously scheduled alarm.

CONFORMING TO

       SVr4, POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD.

NOTES

       alarm() and setitimer(2) share the same timer; calls to one will interfere with use of the other.

       sleep(3) may be implemented using SIGALRM; mixing calls to alarm() and sleep(3) is a bad idea.

       Scheduling delays can, as ever, cause the execution of the process to be delayed by an arbitrary amount of time.
