above i have written a code for storing the details of a book
from a c language book

but when i try to enter the details of the second book it does not take it and shows some garbage value

what can be the issue
my compiler is turbo C++ IDE

- - - Updated - - -

this structure approach is not working well as well same issue

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
struct book
{
char name;
float price;
int pages;
};
struct book b1,b2,b3;
clrscr();


printf("enter the name,price nad pages of 3 books\n");
scanf("%c%f%d",&b1.name,&b1.price,&b1.pages);
scanf("%c%f%d",&b2.name,&b2.price,&b2.pages);
scanf("%c%f%d",&b3.name,&b3.price,&b3.pages);


printf("and this is what you entered");
printf("%c %f %d",b1.name,b1.price,b1.pages);
printf("%c %f %d",b2.name,b2.price,b2.pages);
printf("%c %f %d",b3.name,b3.price,b3.pages);
getch();
}

This is a very common thing. When you press enter...it accepts that value for char.
Don't use char. Use string. And please stop using this archaic compiler. It follows C89 standard which is obsolete.
Use GCC
