printf ("Title >");
fflush(stdin);
scanf ("%s", ctlg[x].title);
printf ("Title :%s \n", ctlg[i].title);
i've typed the program above to do a program on library catalog. When I type "The best book", the scanf function works well but when i wanted to print it back using the printf function, the title became "The".. can anyone help?
1) Do not flush stdin.
2) Do not read strings with scanf.
3) Use fgets.
4) Your app will work.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
