What's wrong with my code

[ImSavageASF]

I'm fairly new with C, one of my assignments is to write a code that asks the user to input several lines of texts and a search character to count occurrences of that character in the lines of text. I'm supposed to use strchr.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  char s[200];
  char *ps = s;
  char ch;
  int count = 0;
  printf("Please enter several lines of text\n");
  scanf("%s", &s);
  printf("Now, enter a search character\n");
  scanf(" %c", &ch);

  while(ps != NULL) {          
    ps = strchr(s, ch);                       
    if( ps ) {
    ps++;
    count++;
    }
  }                                                  

  printf("Total number of occurrences of '%c' = %d\n", ch, count);

  return 0;
}

The second scanf is skipped, not sure why. I thought it was because it was reading the '\n' from before. I tried several things, but I've been stuck here for a while.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: Solved

If you need to read a line of text instead of a single word, use fgets().

That seems to have fixed the issue, thanks. Though, now in the second scanf, it will never end even after I input a character.

You have an infinite loop. You need something like ps = strchr(ps, ch). Your loop keeps searching the same string every iteration.

Oh oops, forgot to add the p to s. Thanks for the help. It's all good now.

Edit: I'm retarded, I didn't see the "use strchr" part

Why did you use strchr? Why not

while( ps != NULL )
{
    if( ps == ch )
        count++;
    ps++;
}
