Use of getchar() and problem with New Line character

Hi all,
          i came across this problem when i was trying to code sorting of strings posted in happycodingc.blogspot.com...
Scenario:
                In the first occurence of scanf()when we enter data to it we tap ENTER key ,and this remains in the STDIN,when we encounter the progressive input functions like Scanf ,fgetc and fgets, then the input to it will be a NEWLINE character as the value in the STDIN is still unread and when the second input function tries to read from the STDIN and it will read '\n' due to enter key and this is not expected...sp we can avoid this by using getchar()in and fflush(stdin)in c++.
check the example
also try uncommenting the getchar();
int main()
{
    int iTest;
    char cTest;
    scanf("%d",&iTest);
  //  getchar();       
    scanf("%c",&cTest);
}

Naming Conventions To Be Used While Coding(Exclusively for Win32 programming)

The following table lists common prefixes.

Prefix	Description
a	Array
b	BOOL (int)
c	Char
cb	Count of bytes
cr	Color reference value
cx	Count of x (short)
dw	DWORD (unsigned long)
f	Flags (usually multiple bit values)
fn	Function
g_	Global
h	Handle
i	Integer
l	Long
lp	Long pointer
m_	Data member of a class
n	Short int
p	Pointer
s	String
sz	Zero terminated String
tm	Text metric
u	Unsigned int
ul	Unsigned long (ULONG)
w	WORD (unsigned short)
x,y	x , y coordinates (short)

These are often combined, as in the following.

Prefix combination	Description
pszMyString	A pointer to a string.
m_pszMyString	A pointer to a string that is a data member of a class.

Other conventions are listed in the following table.

Convention	Description
CMyClass	Prefix 'C' for C++ class names.
COMyObjectClass	Prefix 'CO' for COM object class names.
CFMyClassFactory	Prefix 'CF' for COM class factory names.
IMyInterface	Prefix 'I' for COM interface class names.
CImpIMyInterface	Prefix 'CImpI' for COM interface implementation classes.
