Why won't my program print out a character in c? I can not seem to find any error in this. Below is a snippet of my program. When I tried to print firstBand character out, all i get is nothing.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>



/*
 * 
 */

int bandOne;
int bandTwo;
double multiplierValue;
double resistanceValue;
double toleranceValue;
char firstBand;
char secondBand;
char multiplier;
char tolerance;

int main(void) {
    //prompt user for band colours
    printf("Colour of first band?\n");
    firstBand = scanf(" %c",&firstBand);
    printf("Colour of second band?\n");
    secondBand = scanf(" %c",&secondBand);
    printf("What is multiplier?\n");
    multiplier = scanf(" %c",&multiplier);
    printf("What is the tolerance?\n");
    tolerance = scanf(" %c",&tolerance);

    printf("%c\n",firstBand);

....
..
..

return 0;

}
