How do you allow spaces to be entered using scanf?

Question

Using the following code:

char *name = malloc(sizeof(char) + 256); 

printf(\"What is your name? \");
scanf(\"%s\", name);

printf(\"Hello %s. Nice to meet y         


        

Answer 1

You can use the fgets() function to read a string or use scanf("%[^\n]s",name); so string reading will terminate upon encountering a newline character.
