| SUBJECT | Subject: [hangout] C program
|
I'm doing a journal article on C for Beginner and I stumbled on something I don't understand
The program is simple:
#include
#include
char name[255];
int main(int argc, char **argv){
printf("Welcome to NYLXS\n");
printf("Enter your name-->\n");
fgets(name, 255, stdin);
while(strcmp("\n", name) != 0){
printf("%s", name);
fgets(name, 255, stdin);
}
return(1);
}
fgets seems to just take in any number of chars - blowing right past the 255 limit of the size
