Reading Strings
The standard function fgets can be used to read a string from the keyboard.
The general form of an fgets call is:
fgets(name, sizeof(name), stdin);The arguments are:
name is the name of a character array. sizeof(name) indicates the maximum number of characters to read. stdin is the file to read.
