Input taking only first character of a string

+1
−1

I wrote a program named Kernel.c 2 months into my life in programming and created 4 functions at the time, and now there are 7 functions.

Recently, I updated the program completely onto an online compiler so anyone can use it not just on a university's coding sandbox (where I wrote it in the first place). I'm having trouble with inputting though.

You can take a look at the program here but the basic summary is the first input, and probably the other string inputs, where when I input something, it only results in the first character.

If I type talk, I have t. If I type feedback, I have f. I think you get the picture.

It might have to be from this portion:

char *function;
printf("What do you want me to do? ");
scanf("%s", function); // the input function
/* printf("You picked %s.\n", function)
test that shows that only the first letter is taken when given input

Question: How do I fix these inputs?

Actually, you don't have to give us whole code. Even, giving whole code in another site isn't good idea. It's very hard to find problem in huge code. So, write those code here which is returning error (Maybe, you aren't getting error. Just enter those code where you are taking inputs)
