c - fgets() not waiting for input

I wrote the following code:

int N;
scanf("%d", &N);
int i;
for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
  char line[LINE_MAX];
  if (fgets(line, LINE_MAX, stdin) != NULL) {
    // do stuff with line here
    printf("%c - %c
", line[0], line[1]);
  }
}

I have an input file which has the number of lines it has, and then that number of lines followed which I want to process. So I read in the number of lines into N. After that, I use fgets to get the line to be able to process it.

However, fgets does not seem to wait for a stdin the first time. I always get output of -, and then it waits for input. Meaning, the first iteration of the loop, it is not waiting for standard input at fgets and just prints out two empty characters separated by - as my printf does.

Why is that? How can I get fgets to wait for input each time? I feel like it is a threading issue.

You can place a call to fflush() just after the scanf() like this:

int N;
scanf("%d", &N);
fflush (stdin);
int i;
... (rest of code)...

So the newline character ges erased from the stdin buffer and the next fgets() will stop to ask for input.
