Here the gets function is not advancing as the i is increasing from 0 to 3. I want to store data for 3 emps, but when the for loop started it takes the gets statement takes the input but as i increases 1,2 the gets function is not taking the input the next line of code is displayed without execution of gets statement.


   #include <stdio.h>
   struct emps
   {
       char name[20];
       char lic_no[10];
   };
   int main()
   {
       struct emps e[3];
       int a;
   
       for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
       {
           printf("enter your name\n");
           gets(e[i].name);
           printf("enter the license number\n");
           scanf("%s", &e[i].lic_no);
       }
       return 0;
   }

  • Don't use `scanf("%s"...` with `gets()`. Best to use `fgets()` for input and then lop off the `'\n'`. – chux - Reinstate Monica May 10 '21 at 12:12
