Why we can't use arrow operator in gets and puts?
You can't read user input in an un-initialized pointer. Instead, have a variable of the struct data type and assign its address to pointer before accessing its inner elements by → operator
example
#include <stdio.h> struct example{ char name[20]; }; main(){ struct example *ptr; struct example e; puts("enter name"); gets(e.name); ptr=&e; puts(ptr->name); }
Output
Typical result of above code
enter name Disha You entered Disha
