Debugging code in C

问题:

Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code and why it is producing this output.

Code:

int main(){
  unsigned num;
  char response;

do{
 printf("Please enter a positive integer greater than 1 and less than 2000: ");
 scanf("%d", &num);
 if (num > 1 && num < 2000){
    printf("All the prime factors of %d are given below: \n", num);
    printPrimeFactors(num);
    printf("\n\nThe distinct prime factors of %d are given below: \n", num);
    printDistinctPrimeFactors(num);
 }
 else{
    printf("\nSorry that number does not fall between 1 and 2000.\n");
 }
 printf("\n\nDo you want to try another number? Say Y(es) or N(o): ");
 getchar();
 response = getchar();
}
while(response == 'Y' || response == 'y'); // if response is Y or y then program runs again
printf("Thank you for using my program. Good Bye!\n\n"); //if not Y or y, program terminates
return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter a positive integer greater than 1 and less than 2000: 1600
All the prime factors of 1600 are given below: 
2 2 2 2 2 2 5 5 

The distinct prime factors of 1600 are given below: 
2 5 

Do you want to try another number? Say Y(es) or N(o): yes
Please enter a positive integer greater than 1 and less than 2000: All the prime factors of 1600 are given below: 
2 2 2 2 2 2 5 5 

The distinct prime factors of 1600 are given below: 
2 5 

Do you want to try another number? Say Y(es) or N(o): Thank you for using my program. Good     Bye!

When you ask whether you want to repeat, you only read the y, leaving the es queued up in stdin. When you go to read the next number, scanf tries to parse that as a number, fails, and returns without altering num. When you prompt the user, you need to burn that whole line.
