This problem is really bugging me

[ankit0288]

I am new here and decided to join a forum in order to help me out with my programming difficulties. Hope i get a reply soon on this

I have been experiencing problems in using the gets() command in C. Whenever I use it twice followed by scanf for eg:

char name[20],add[20];
printf("Enter name : ");
gets(name);
printf("Enter address :");
gets(add);
printf("Enter age :");
scanf("%d",age);

Here it skips name.(doesnot take input of name!)

It doesnot input both the name and address. It skips one of them and this occurs only when i use scanf also. And "scanf" has problem with spaces so i cant use that for strings. Pls help me out!

the only obvious error is you have missed the & before age in scanf(), i.e.

scanf("%d", &age);
 

scanf() requires an address to return the value read into the variable (& beinf the address of operator)
