    A quick google search should help... here are some links that should help you understand what is going on:

    http://www.velocityreviews.com/forum...ith-scanf.html
    http://c-faq.com/stdio/scanfjam.html

    For the reasons mentioned above I prefer to use gets(), or just read() from stdin and check the input, and convert to an integer (if needed) with atoi(), instead of relying on scanf(). It is more work but gives some nicer control over what you can decide to do with the input.

    Good luck.
