How to use gets()
function
Some of the important points about
scanf()
and gets()
are:scanf()
andgets()
both are used to take input from the user.scanf()
can only take input until it encounters a space. The words after space are ignored by it.gets()
is used to take a single input at a time but can be used to input a complete sentence with spaces unlike scanf().
Below is a program on use of
gets()
.gets()
takes only a single line at a time i.e all the words before hitting \n(enter key).#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("\n\n\t\tStudytonight - Best place to learn\n\n\n");
char str[50]; // char array of size 50
printf("Enter your complete name:\n\n\n");
gets(str);
printf("\n\nWelcome to Studytonight %s\n\n\n", str);
printf("\n\n\t\t\tCoding is Fun !\n\n\n");
