Thread: What is wrong in tnis code?

Code:

    char buf;
    fgets(buf,sizeof(buf),stdin);
    if(buf=='1') writeBill();

What is wrong in this code?

Also, this means that you are passing an argument of a wrong type as the first argument to fgets; your compiler should have warned you so you need to compile at a high warning level and pay attention to warnings.

Yes, a nice little mess. sorry. Zach
