firstly, format your code

it will help you

!debugger

Have you tried stepping through your code line by line in a debugger?

If you don't know how to use a debugger or don't have one set up, we highly recommend taking the time to do so.
Debuggers are immensely helpful tools for figuring out where problems emerge in code and especially when you're first learning it can help you build intuition and understanding for reasoning through code.

scanf only reads a string to the first space, if you want all typed words to be read you'll either need to call scanf multiple times or use something else. What trouble did fgets cause you?

fgets() should definitely work.

#

;compile | "one two three"

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
    char input[100];

    fgets(input, sizeof input, stdin);
    input[strcspn(input, "\n")] = 0;

    puts(input);
}

Typical

#

scanf("%s", str) only reads to the first whitespace

#

that includes the space character

#

so you have to tell it to either read a whole line, or read 2 "words"(obviously only works if a person has 2 names)
