To get rid of the carriage return in just one line, you can use
scanf ( "%d%*c", &some_variable)
The %d will get the integer and assign in some_variable.
The %*c is a %c (to get the carriage return) with a * that tell to
ignore this thing, so you dont have to assign it to a variable.
You can use * with any other format, for example, %*d, to ignore an integer.

"Que o caminho seja brando aos teus pés;
Que o vento sopre leve em teus ombros;
Que o Sol brilhe cálido em tuas faces;
Que as chuvas caiam serenas em teus campos.
E, até que eu de novo te veja,
que a Deusa te guarde na palma da mão! "
