Hiriharan V M EEE If I understand this syntax correctly. Then in the first case the code would be taking a characters on a line up until the newline. The second case wouldbe similar except then the last character would also be consumed, however it would not be assigned. So I would expect the second scanf to read all the characters up until the newline, then consume and discard the newline to clear the input buffer.
