...and you could also use a function to simplify:
#include <stdio.h>
static char get_reply(const char *prompt)
{
char buf[100], c;
printf("Enter %s:\n", prompt);
fgets(buf, sizeof buf, stdin);
sscanf(buf, "%c", &c);
return c;
}
int main(void)
{
char type, size, baking_type;
type = get_reply("the type of bread you want to make");
size = get_reply("D if the bread size is double else enter N");
baking_type = get_reply("M if manual baking else enter A");
printf("type=%c size=%c baking_type=%c\n", type, size, baking_type);
:
You could then extend the function to only allow valid responses.
