为什么我不能使用“fgets”将字符串读取到我的 Struct 元素中？

Question

I'm trying to create a program almost like "bank" using struct, but when the program should have read the string (variable "nome" that is name in portuguese) it totally ignore the "fgets" that I used . This is the part that I was talking about :

printf("\nNome: \n");
fgets(vet[cont+1].nome, sizeof(vet[cont+1].nome), stdin);

And I'm pretty sure that maybe the problem is with the dynamically allocation of my object array. Please, give me a help with this problem, thank you!

PS: I'm sorry but the code is in portuguese (my native language).

#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

    scanf("%d", &num);
    vet = (CLIENTES*)malloc(num*sizeof(int));
    printf("Digite os Dados do Cliente.");

    while (cont != num)
    {  
        printf("\nNome: \n");

Answer 1

Problems that I see:

1. You are allocating the wrong amount of memory in the line:

    vet = (CLIENTES*)malloc(num*sizeof(int)); 

   That should be:

    vet = malloc(num*sizeof(*vet)); 

   See Do I cast the result of malloc? . The answers explain why you should not cast the return value of malloc .

2. You are using fgets after a scanf . scanf leaves the newline and other whitespace characters on the stream. When fgets is called right after that, fgets reads just the whitespace and the newline. You need to add code to ignore the rest of the line after the call to scanf and before the call to fgets .

    // Skip everything up to and including the newline. int c; while ( (c = getc(stdin)) != EOF && c != '\\n'); 

   after that,

    fgets(vet[cont+1].nome, sizeof(vet[cont+1].nome), stdin); 

   should read the data correctly.

3. You are using the wrong value in the line:

    scanf("%d", &vet[cont+1].cpf); 

   cpf is an array on int s. If you want to read just one int , you can use:

    scanf("%d", &vet[cont+1].cpf[0]); 

4. You are using the wrong format specifier in the line:

    scanf("%d", &vet[cont+1].renda_m); 

   It should be:

    scanf("%f", &vet[cont+1].renda_m); // ^^ %f not %d 

5. You are using the wrong index to access the array vet . Everywhere you use vet[cont+1] , it should be vet[cont] . By using vet[cont+1] , you are not using the first element of the array, vet[0] , and accessing memory beyond what you allocated for when by accessing vet[num] .

If you fix the above problems, your program might work.

Answer 2

the following code:

1) corrects all the problems I listed in the comments.

2) drops some of the functionality of the OPs posted code,

Due notice the usage of a while( getchar() ... loop to clean the stdin of any remaining white space.

3) will still fail if the user tries to enter any white space in the nome field

4) the code always checks for errors

5) the code always cleans up (with 'free( vet );' before exiting

when compiling, always enable all the warnings, (for gcc, at a minimum, use '-Wall -Wextra -pedantic')
