how to supress warning "gets() is deprecated"?

everytime i try to input my string using gets() function, my compiler gives me warning like shown below. how to get rid of this. what am i doing wrong?

test.c:27:2: warning: ‘gets’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/stdio.h:638) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
gets(temp);
^
Solution

  • Use fgets instead:

    fgets(temp, sizeof(temp), stdin);

    gets is deprecated because it's dangerous, it may cause buffer overflow.
