Gets in c

Playground/file0.c: In function '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/cciNin95.o: in function `main': file0.c:(.text+0x15): warning: the `gets' function is dangerous and should not be used. Can anyone help me get out of this error that I'm getting when gets function is used

Usha Sri that's because gets() has been removed from C standards because of its dangerous behaviour of overflowing the buffer. Use fgets() as an alternative of it. Learn about fgets() and how to use it here👇 https://www.educative.io/edpresso/how-to-use-the-fgets-function-in-c

use fgets(array, size , stdin ) function eg: Int array[100]; fgets (array, 100, stdin); /** this statement will take 100 character input untill enter or new line is given **/
