Why is it not reading the line?

Question

C++ / C#

I can't figure out why it doesn't read the line:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void main() 
{
    char c, String[50];
    int count = 0, i;
    puts("Input string: ");
    gets(String);
    puts("Input character: ");
    scanf("%s", &c);
    for(i=0; i<strlen(String); i++) 
    {
        if(String[i]==c) 
        {
           count++; 
        }
    }
    printf("Count of characters %s %d", c,count);
}

The loop seems to work, but why doesn't it compare?

Answer 1

scanf("%s", &c);
Read a string into a character. What is a storka? This is a null-terminated character sequence. Where does this zero go? That's right, to the beginning of String[50], zeroing out the string for you. How to fix? Use "%c"
