If i give space in my input it does not shows next words

Question

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
char a[100];
scanf("%s",a);
printf ("you entered: %s",a);
return 0;
}

Answer 1

String is an array of characters in C so there is no need to put & before array a in scanf

scanf("%s", a) ;

edit:

%s accepts only single word. To accept line of string, use fgets()

Answer 2

You can use fgets() to read input string with spaces included. scanf() can also do something similar, but it's a little bit more tricky.

Don't edit the original question. You can make another question instead.. Otherwise it confuses the readers.. and answer may not match as mine.

%s accepts single word only... To accept entire line of string, use fgets() function or by scanf as
scanf("%[^\n]", a); // accepts entire line (edited)

Or

fgets (a, 100,stdin) ; // input into array a, max length 100 from stdin.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
char a[100];
scanf("%[^\n]",a);
printf ("you entered: %s",a);
return 0;
}

Answer 4

scanf("%[^\n]", a); .....this will allow you to enter a single line of text until it find a new line character (when you press "enter").
scanf("%[^*]", a); .... this will allow you to enter multi line text until if find a " * " and then you press "enter".

Answer 5

Otherwise use for loop
