Question

say something like this:

#include <stdio.h>

void main() {

  char fname[30];
  char lname[30];

  printf("Type first name:\n");
  scanf("%s", fname);

  printf("Type last name:\n");
  scanf("%s", lname);

  printf("Your name is: %s %s\n", fname, lname);
}

if i type "asdas asdasdasd" for fname, it won’t ask me to input something for lname anymore. I just want to ask how i could fix this, thank you.

Answer 1

Use fgets (or getline if you are using GNU) to get an entire line instead of until the first whitespace.

if (fgets(fname, 30, stdin) == NULL) {
    // TODO: Read failed: handle this.
}

See it working online: ideone

You could also consider using the function fgets_wrapper from this answer as it will also remove the new line character for you.
