It looks like there is a possible whitespace character left in the input buffer. Remember that the "%c" specifier doesn't skip leading whitespace by default. You can force skipping whitespace by placing a space before the 'c' in the specifier "% c".

Where you put the space matters.

Like
scanf(" %c",&again);
demhat (16)
scanf(" %c",&again);
