problem in a program

[amit14]

actually I am facing a problem in creating a program. I have recently started learning c, and in the code
main()
{
      char another;
      int num;
      do
      {
        printf("enter a number");
        scan("%d", & num);
        printf("want to enter another no. y/n");
        scanf("%c", &another);
       }while(another=='y');
}
the program ends without accepting the value of y or n
I changed the %c to %d, then it accepted the ASCII values of y and n(121 and 110), instead of the letters.
please help me solve this problem

Please use code tags in the future

Code

scanf("%c", &another);

The likely fix of your code; please read up on what a space does in front of "%c" in calling scanf.

Code

scanf(" %c", &another);

Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:

    post your question to a forum where it's off topic

    post a very elementary question to a forum where advanced technical questions are expected, or vice-versa

    cross-post to too many different newsgroups

    post a personal e-mail to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem

You will likely be banned or this thread locked because you are still posting off topic questions!

Another link to the rules of this site; that, you seem to be unable to follow!

it means questions related to programming can't be asked on this forum.

can I inbox you or other users directly

Nope, this is an even worse then asking public questions...
