Thread: I need help about string

hi,my program calculate the salary of salesperson,but gets(name) doesnt give the name?

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<ctype.h>
int main()
{
    char name[100];
    int sales[100],k=0,n,first=0,second=0,third=0,fourth=0,fifth=0;
    double salary[100];
    
    printf("how many salesperson in this company = ");
    scanf("%d",&n);
//given the informations of salespersons...  
  
    for(int i=0; i<n;i++)
    {
     //printf("Name of salesperson  = ");
     gets(name);                           //here doesnt give the name
     printf("\nSales of salesperson = ");
    scanf("%d",&sales[i]);
      
     salary[i]=sales[i]*0.8+100;       
    }
   
//make equal space ...
     for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
       for(int j=0;j<=40;j++)
          name[i]=' '+name[i];
          
//draw first table ...
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
       {
          while(name[k] !='\0')
             {
              putchar(name[k]);
              if(k==40)
                { 
              printf("$ %d  |$ %d",sales[i],salary[i]);
              k++;     
                }   
             } 
            printf("\n");
       } 
          
//the range of salary ...
    for(int i=0; i<n; i++)
       {
         if(100<= salary[i] && salary[i]<300)
            first++;
    else if(300<= salary[i] && salary[i]<500)   
            second++;
    else if(500<= salary[i] && salary[i]<700)
            third++;
    else if(700<= salary[i] && salary[i]<900)
            fourth++;
    else
            fifth++;   
       }  
//draw second table ...
       
             printf(" ----------------------------- \n");
             printf("| range      |number of sales people |\n");
             printf("|-----------------------------|\n");  
                 
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
      {
         switch(i)
          {
           case 0: printf("| 100$ - 299$    | %d          |\n",first);  break;
           case 1: printf("| 300$ - 499$    | %d          |\n",second); break;
           case 2: printf("| 500$ - 699$    | %d          |\n",third);  break;
           case 3: printf("| 700$ - 899$    | %d          |\n",fourth); break;
           case 4: printf("| 900$ and over  | %d          |\n",fifth);  break;
          } 
                   printf("|-----------------------------|\n");     
       }
    
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

thank you for helping.

gets() doesn't "give" the name. It "gets" the name (and you shouldn't actually be using it, anyway).

To print the name, use printf() with the %s format

As soon as you can, switch from using gets() to using fgets() -- gets() is WAY dangerous in a program.
