Hi guys I'm a beginner in C and I'm trying to make a simple program where you calculate the perimeter and/or area in a triangle. Whenever I run this program and after the output (area or perimeter) is shown, the first set of text (where you input A, P or S) repeats itself twice rather than just once (image is found in the link): https://www.dropbox.com/s/5nz5az9tkgjv24e/Capture2.JPG?dl=0
Is there something wrong with my code? I can't seem to find the error
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
float triangleArea (float base, float height)
{
float area;
area = (base * height) / 2;
return (area);
}
float trianglePerimeter (float side1, float side2, float side3)
{
float perimeter;
perimeter = side1 + side2 + side3;
return (perimeter);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char select;
float input1, input2, input3, output;
do {
printf("Type A for Area \n");
printf("Type P for Perimeter \n");
printf("Type S to stop \n");
printf("Input: ");
scanf("%c", &select);
switch (select) {
case 'A' :
printf("Input base: ");
scanf("%f", &input1);
printf("Input height: ");
scanf("%f", &input2);
output = triangleArea(input1, input2);
printf("Area: %.2f \n", output);
break;
case 'P' :
printf("Input all 3 sides: \n");
scanf("%f%f%f", &input1, &input2, &input3);
output = trianglePerimeter(input1, input2, input3);
printf("Perimeter: %.2f \n", output);
break;
case 'S' :
printf("END \n");
break;
}
printf("\n");
} while (select != 'S');
getchar();
return 0;
}
