buffer problems in c

Oct 12 2013 7:29 PM
Hello everyone,
         I met a buffer problem, my code is as follows (bold font):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
struct Student
{
int stu_id;
char stu_name[10];
int stu_age;
char stu_professional[10];
};
void rand_output(Student s)
{
printf("\t ID\tname\tage\tpro\n");
printf("\t%d\t%s\t%d\t%s\n",s.stu_id,s.stu_name,s.stu_age,s.stu_professional);
}
int main()
{
    
   char answer='Y';
   int get_randNumber;
   Student stu[3]={{201301,"Ken",18,"computer"},{201302,"Mary",17,"computer"},
   {201303,"Jack",18,"computer"}};

   while (toupper(answer)=='Y')
   {
 
 // fflush(stdin);   // Assuming it is commented
      srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
      get_randNumber=rand()%(2-0+1)+0; 
      rand_output(stu[get_randNumber]);
 

 /*fflush(stdin);If the line is commented out,
          The following code will not be executed in the second to(while loop will be aborted). Why is there such a situation?
         Now, I would like to know its compiler theory.*/
 printf("\tYou like to continue anyway?(Y or N):");
 scanf("%c",&answer);
      system("cls");
   }
   
   
    return 0;
}



Regards,

Ken
