[program works as desired when '\n' added to printf statements]

This is an issue of system buffering, and when output characters appear
on the user's terminal.  The whole area is implementation-defined
(ANSI C standard, section 4.9.3).  A conforming implementation may show
the behavior you describe, so long as it documents it.
