My suggestion is to use fgets instead of gets.
fgets(str, 100, stdin);
gets() is not safe to use because it does not check the array bound.
fgets() is a safer version of gets() where you can provide limitations on input size.

The future is now thanks to science[INACTIVE] yeah but how do we find the number of input charcters?
edit: also change the "inactive" in your name as you're active now

@Rishi using strlen() you can get the number of input characters.
In fgets() you should give the number of input characters that could be maximum.
Answering the line:"also change the "inactive" in your name as you're active now"
I am not fully active because I am not using the sololearn app. Sololearn app has a lot of features that cannot be used in sololearn web. So that's why my status is inactive.If you go to my profile I think you will see there is a 0-day coding steak.
Thanks.

The future is now thanks to science[INACTIVE] strlen() can only find the length of a string right? How can it get the number of input characters?
Okay don't forget to change it when you use the app:)

What do you mean by strlen() can only find the length of a string?
The length of a string means the number of input characters
when you use fgets() it takes the whole sentence as a string:
hello world everyone.
how many characters are there?
In hello
there are 5 characters
In world
there are 5 characters
In everyone
there are 8 characters
and there are also two gaps and 1 full stop.
so extra 3 characters
so the total length of the whole sentence is:
5+5+8+3=21
Here is the code:

But of course, there is one problem if you give gaps at the end of the input it will also take those as characters.
Hope this helps.
