Ever wondered why scanf("%s") only grabs the first word you type? 🤔 In this video, we break down how C handles input behind the scenes, why spaces and newlines get “left behind” in the input buffer, and how fgets solves the problem by capturing full lines (including spaces).
You’ll learn:
How the input buffer works in C
Why scanf only reads one word at a time
Why the leftover newline can mess up your next input
How fgets captures an entire line safely
The role of getchar() in clearing the buffer
Perfect for anyone new to C who keeps asking: “Why is my input acting weird?”
