    Question a simple question. plz help

    i need to write a program that reads input character strings form the keyboard and prints them in reverse order
    .... i know how to do the 2nd part ( print the numbers in reverse order ) but i dont know how to write a program which reads inputs for this array because the size of array in unknown , and i guess the program should also know when the inputs are finished and it has to print them in reverse order
    plzzz somebody help me

    An option would be to declare a reasonable size array and use a function that would read from the keyboard up to that limit - 1.

    i.e.
    Code:
    char input[255] = { '\0' };
    
    fgets( input, sizeof( input ), stdin );
    Check that input is successful and clear the stdin of unwanted characters if necessary.
