Whitespaces in Strings

[dE iNSANE]

Why aren't whitespaces in a strings not displayed? Does the scanf() function stop accepting values which lie after a whitespace?

For example:

int name[100]; 

printf("Whats your name?");
scanf("%s",&name);

My input:

Harry Potter

Output:

Harry

Most likely another one of scanf()'s many bugs. Use fgets() instead, and read Things to Avoid in C/C++ -- scanf, Part 5 - GIDNetwork

fgets() is creating more prob then scanf() did....
Errors:

Type mismatch in parameter '__n' in call to 'fgets'
Too few parameters in call to 'fgets'

Replacing scanf() by fgets(), is enough to get a correct output...or gonna need to get more things change in the code?

Take a look at this, I think it will help you.

Reading up to the next whitespace is standard documented behaviour for scanf. For %s for example: "This will read subsequent characters until a whitespace is found". I agree scanf is bad for other reasons, but this is not a bug, this is normal behaviour.
