fgets ?

[marrk]

My question is, why when we use a function fgets() in that kind of way

if(fgets (buf, sizeof buf, stdin) != NULL)
{
      //stuff
}

there is no else statemant?

just curious

What are you talking about? If you want an else write one.

The stuff is executed only if fgets() gets a non-null value from the standard input.
If you want some error to be printed in case a null string was input try this :

if(fgets(mychar, sizeof(mychar), stdin)
{
      //stuff
}
else
{
       //print error
}
