My friend is trying to code a small c program where he wants to force the
user to press enter and only enter to continue.

Currently he is using getchar() with a loop but you can type any number of
characters, which are echoed to screen before you have to press enter.

For example:-

do
        { /* Begin loop */
    printf("\Press Enter"); /* Output to screen */
          } while ((ch = getchar()) != '\n') ; /* While ( Condition -
must press enter ) */
