Thread: Arrays of pointers (input)

Hello, why is it that i can't get string literals and asign them to pointer variables with scanf() and printf()?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
	char * name[3]; /* An array of pointers to characters */

	fgets(name[0], 81, stdin); /* Get a string literal */
	puts(*name);

	/* printf("%s\n", name[0]); why won't this function work? It always returns(NULL) */
	/* Also, scanf("%s", name[0]); doesnt' work for getting input either */

return 0;

}

Thanks,
Tyler
