pushing strings into a stack

I am using the STACK ADT which means the data values in the stack are void pointers.

I am having trouble trying to push strings into the stack because of these void pointers.

I understand how int types and char types can be pushed through:

Code:

int* data;

data = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int));
scanf("%d", data);
pushStack (stack, data);

I am getting confused because I can't declare

Code:

char* data

since I have to read in a user's input so i declared

Code:

char data[100];
char ** dataptr;

scanf("%99[^\n], input);

and from then on I am clueless as to what to do

Following a similiar pattern as with your example with int:

Code:

char* data;
 
data = (char*)malloc(sizeof(*data) * 100);
scanf("%99[^\n]", data);
pushStack (stack, data);

Note that you don't need to cast the return value of malloc.
