let’s say I have this code

` #include #include char name[50]; int main(){ fgets(name,50,stdin); name[strcspn(name, “\n”)] = ‘\0’; printf(“hi %s”, name); }

` and I decide my name is “ewroiugheqripougheqpiurghperiugheqrpiughqerpuigheqrpiugherpiugheqrpiughqerpioghqe4r”, my program will throw some unexpected behavior. How would I mitigate this?

    1. Realize that you’ll have to do something like this every time you want to work with a string of unknown size
    2. Cry
    3. Use a different language
