getting string input in c

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char name[50];

    printf("Enter your name: ");
    scanf("%49s", name);

    printf("Hello, %s!\n", name);

    return 0;
}

Explanation: 1. #include <stdio.h>: Includes the standard input-output library in the program.

1. int main() { }: Defines the main function where the program execution starts.

2. char name[50];: Declares a character array named name capable of holding up to 49 characters (plus the null terminator \0) for storing the input string.

3. printf("Enter your name: ");: Displays the message prompting the user to enter their name.

4. scanf("%49s", name);: Reads the input from the user using scanf. %49s reads a string input, ensuring that only up to 49 characters are stored in the name array to prevent buffer overflow.

5. printf("Hello, %s!\n", name);: Prints the greeting message with the name entered by the user using the %s format specifier.

6. return 0;: Indicates the successful termination of the main function and the program.
