It is very easy to see what I am trying to do with this code:
#include <stdio.h>
main(){
char name[200];
printf ("Enter -");
fflush (stdout);
fgets (name,200,stdin);
printf("is? ",name);}
I have also tried this with the last line with printf
printf("is? %c",name);
Either way same results. Printf will not print the value of name.

You've supposedly been learning C for months if not years. What book
are you using that doesn't give the procedure for printing strings with
printf()?

Yes minor stumbling block.
#include <stdio.h>
main(){
char name[200];
char name2[200];
printf ("Enter -");
fflush (stdout);
fgets (name,200,stdin);
printf("is? %s",name);
printf("what you mean? Try again.");
fflush(stdout);
fgets(name2,200,stdin);
if (name==name2) {printf("ok");}
else if (name!=name2){
printf("Sorry try again.");
return main();}
return 0;}
THanks now there seems to be an error with if here somewhere. I will try to
figure it out if not I would appreciate a look over.

The code above compares the addresses of name and name2, to see if
they're equal (which, obviously, they aren't).
You must use strcmp or one of its fellows.

That didn't answer the question. What book are you using that doesn't
show the printf() modifiers for strings?

Regardless of difficulties, if he has a reference book and can't follow
simple directions like using the correct printf() modifiers, then he's
wasting his time and ours.
If he's not using a book, then he's REALLY wasting time. Hence my
question.

It's at least clear that some haven't felt compelled to allow political

Mark,
I haven't got to the functions used in the string.h header yet. The tutorial
at http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/
has helped me more than any other. You pick up little things like int c is
not as good as int c=0 because int c is bound to contain garbage if not
initialized to something. That's better than just references functions from
a book you really haven't studied yet. I have been away from C for around a
year.
This is how I tried to use the function.
int c=0;
c=strcmp(name,name2);
Like I say I will have to probably come to this function in the turtorial I
don't want to ask someone to do my homework for me but what good is a C
community if you don't participate. Aspiring amateur programmers probably
I'm sure get on the nerves of professionals. I need to know how to use this
with if ().
I have major depression and panic attacks to the point of convulsive
problems and being drawn up in the floor.
This hinders concentration, retention, and attention. Klonopin has an affect
of confusing its patient.

Works fine when you correct the code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
char name[200];
printf("Enter -");
fflush(stdout);
fgets(name, 200, stdin);
printf("is %s\n", name);

This is how I tried to use the function.

The normal way to use strcmp is

}
else {
/* strings are different */

People find you frustrating because you have been trying off and on for
a long time and are still at an early stage. People who find you
annoying should just killfile you and leave it to people with more patience.

You have problems which is why some people cut you a lot of slack. The
problems *might* make it impractical for you to learn C, but however
well you do that you are trying to do something constructive is good.
However, this is not a support group, so don't expect most people to
understand your problems or be supportive of them.

Part of that is facing reality. If he can't follow the book to that
level after months of trying, he will never be a C programmer. He
should move to something else. As I said, wasting his time and ours.
