How It Works

This C program demonstrates Get or Read String using Gets(). It first reads the required values as input, then performs the core operation step by step, and finally prints the output shown in the Sample Output above.

1. Declare the variables that hold the program’s data.
2. Read the input values that the program will work with.
3. Print the final result to the console so you can compare it with the sample output.

Try changing the input values and re-running the program to see how the output changes — this is the fastest way to understand how the logic behaves.
