有15个数按有小到大顺序存放在一个数组中，输入一个数，要求用折半法查找出这个数是该数组中的第几个元素的值。如果该数不在数组中，则输出"无此数"。
（最后加下划线的几句代码总被忽略）
#include<stdio.h>
#define N 15
int main()
{
    int i,head,tail,mid,a[N],flag=1,sign,number;
    char c;
    printf("Please enter data:\n");
    scanf("%d",&a[0]);
    i=1;
    while(i<N)
    {
        scanf("%d",&a[i]);
        if(a[i]>=a[i-1])
            i++;
        else
            printf("Please enter this data again:\n");
    }
    printf("The array is:\n");
    for(i=0;i<N;i++)
        printf("%3d",a[i]);
    printf("\n");
    while(flag)
    {
        printf("Please enter the number wanted:");
        scanf("%d",&number);
        head=0;
        tail=N-1;
        sign=0;
        if((number<a[0])||(number>a[N-1]))
            printf("The number can't be found.");
        else
        {
            while((!sign)&&(head<=tail))
            {
                mid=(head+tail)/2;
                if(number==a[mid])
                {
                    printf("The number--%d has been found,it's position is %d.",number,mid+1);
                    sign=1;
                }
                else if(number<a[mid])
                    tail=mid-1;
                else if(number>a[mid])
                    head=mid+1;
            }
            if(sign==0)
                printf("The number can't be found.");
        }
        printf("\n");
        printf("continue or not(Y/N)?");
        scanf("%c",&c);
            if(c=='N'||c=='n')
            flag=0;
    }
    printf("\n");
    return 0;
}

谢谢解答，但我还有两个地方不懂：
为什么加个getchar()就可以了，scanf不是直接从键盘上输入一个c的值吗？
为什么加个空格也行，我没见过这个原理。求解。
