Need to take good care when taking input. In language like C, the coder is responsible for properly allocating and deallocating memory e.g. string buffer. This is not only `scanf` issue, `fgets` also writes past the actual buffer size if we set it to be. I see you have learned how to limit the amount of characters read in by `scanf`, given that knowledge, I suppose you know that we should not allow input reads to go past the size of buffer we specified. That is our responsibility as the code writer : )
