I try to debug some code in vs code. Everything works fine, but when I trying input something in console nothing happens.
my code:
#include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 20
int main()
{
char arr[SIZE];
fgets(arr, SIZE, stdin);
puts(arr);
return 0;
}
As you can see, I use fgets() to read string from console, but when the debug reaches the function everything stops and I can't enter anything.
Just black window.
But, when I use gets(), like in this exemple:
#include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 20
int main()
{
char arr[SIZE];
gets(arr);
puts(arr);
return 0;
}
Everything works properly.
Where is the problem? Maybe debug console can't read anything? How can I input anything using fgets()?
