question about string

[maniel]

if i set the char array as a 2d array, how can i get the string from the user
i have tried to use 'gets', but when i compiled it, there is syntax error..

[maniel]

i wanna ask what is stdin??

[maniel]

also, if i dont use fgets, can i have another way to get the string?

You can also use getchar() to read one byte at a time, but why bother when fgets() does a fine job.

I dont know why salem said like this:
>If you're thinking of using gets(), then forget it
I tried something like this:

main()
{
	char strings[10][20];
	int i;
	for(i=0;i<=9;i++)
	{
		gets(strings[i]);//a point to be noted
                                                           is entering char <= 20
	}
	for(i=0;i<=9;i++)
	{
		puts(strings[i]);
	}
}

You don't know because you obviously didn't read the FAQ link that Salem provided. Honeslty though, I don't know why I bother providing the same link. You didn't read it the fist time, why should now be any different?
