..getchar reads one character like 'x' ...gets reads multiple characters like 'abc' You need this if you want to get input from a user. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/c_standard_library/c_function_getchar.htm https://www.tutorialspoint.com/c_standard_library/c_function_gets.htm#:~:text=The%20C%20library%20function%20char,is%20reached%2C%20whichever%20comes%20first.

Don't forget that 'gets' is deprecated because of security issues (so don't use it).
