Can someone help me with this code from C lesson 4 getchar()

Question

#include <stdio.h>

int main( ) {
char a[100]

gets(a) ;

printf("You entered: %s" , a);

return0;
}

The answer I always get from this code is below

./Playground/file0.c:Infunction 'main':
/Playground/file0.c:6:5: warning:
implicit declaration of function
'gets' ; did you mean 'fgets'?
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
6 | gets(a) ;
| ^~~~
| fgets
../Playground/: /tmp/cc6BjXm0.o:in
function 'main':
file0.c: (.text+0×15): warning: the 'gets'
function is dangerous and should not be
used.

Answer 2

This is because gets () has been deprecated years ago from the language standards.
It's much better to follow your compiler's instructions and use fgets () instead.

Answer 3

Sidian are you sure, you are using fgets () correctly ?

Check out cppreference for correct usage 👇

If still the program gives some kind of error/warning then it is recommended to post the new code for further troubleshooting.

Answer 4

I tried fgets but I got the same output
