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

This example uses an inverted scanset, so scanf keeps taking in values until it encounters a '\n'-- newline, so spaces get saved as well

#include 

int main (int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    char name[20];
    scanf("%[^\n]s",name);
    printf("%s\n", name);
    return 0;
}
