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.

}
