COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF 
                        gets() 
                               FUNCTION in C
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example CODE1:
INPUT: Welcome to coding
{
 char str[100];    // creating a variable that holds string of 100 places.
 scanf("%s",str);  // scanning the incomming message by user, stored in str.
                      // %s is for string input.
 printf("%s",str); // prints the str.
}
(Expected OUTPUT: Welcome to coding)
OUTPUT: Welcome
*************************************************************************
 1) The scanf() funtion stops reading when a new line or a white space 
    is detected. 														
 2) So to print a string with spaces in it, we have to use a 			
    function called => gets()													
*************************************************************************
SYNTAX =>     gets(variable name);
The gets function stops getting input only when a new line is entered
    *     IMPORTANT: must be initialised before scanning     * 
*************************************************************************
Example CODE1(corrected version):
INPUT: Welcome to coding
{
 char str[100];    // creating a variable that holds string of 100 places.
 gets(str);        // using gets function with "str" variable in it to tell 
                      the compiler to continue taking input even if it detects 
                      blank or white spaces.
 scanf("%s",str);  // scanning the incomming message by user, stored in str.
                   // %s is for string input.
 printf("%s",str); // prints the str.
}
(Expected OUTPUT: Welcome to coding)
OUTPUT: Welcome to coding
