Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> int main() { char s[100]; int i=0; //fgets(s,100,stdin); gets(s); while ( s[i] != '\0' ) i++; printf("%d",i); getch(); return 0; }
when i use gets the output is same as number of characters in the string but using fgets gives value more by 1... example: input is "Kiran".. using gets gives output 5 but using fgets, it gives 6.
I had crush on her, before that crush could CRUSH me, i CRUSHED that crush !!! Fun time over, Lets find a way to not to blow off the whole leg !

In C++ it's harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg.

fgets stores the newline in the buffer, as well. If you don't want it, you must strip it (ie delete it).
For that matter, I hope you know that gets is bad.

All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

Or, alternatively, here.
Summary: fgets() keeps the newline, gets() does not. fgets() protects against the user entering more characters than the string is long, gets() does not.

Experimentation is the essence of programming. Just remember to make a backup first.
