It's easier to provide answers when you provide questions.

You may want to take a look at a way to Read a Line of Text from the User and a way to Read a Number from the User.

scanf has a lot of issues that trip up beginners.

	  scanf("%d",&b);
 
	  printf("What do you want to do with them?");
	  scanf("%c",o);
	  scanf("%d",&b);
	  
	  printf("What do you want to do with them?");
	  scanf("%c",o);

Like the newline being left in the buffer. Or that a pointer must be passed.

scanf("%c",&o);
