As said before fflush(stdin) isn't supposed to clear the input; I
believe
that's a Borlandism (or a Microsoftism, or both).

But IIRC you can use the '%*c' specifier to read any number of
characters
(effectively clearing the input), without placing them into memory.

So scanf ("%d%*c", &age) should read '20' into age and discard the rest.
