So plz tel me y for the 1st iteration it is nt working properly???
y scanf is nt working in front of getchar if it is used in loop??
plzz help

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
	int n,k;
	char c;
	scanf("%d",&n);
	while(n--)
	{
		k=0;
		while((c=getchar())!='\n')
		{
			if(c>='A' && c<='Z')
			{
				if(c=='A' || c=='D' || c=='O' || c=='P' || c=='Q' || c=='R')
					k=k+1;
				if(c=='B')
					k=k+2;
			}
		}
		printf("%d\n",k);
	}
	return 0;
}

It’s because scanf("%d") to not read '\n', so your first getchar() reads that character. You can do 2 thing:

  • read n as scanf("%d\n",&n);
  • or add getchar(); before while
