How to read a line from stdin

I am trying to read a text line from user but the fgets wont work right after the printf("Enter a string:"); the program terminates and doesn't give a chance to enter anything.

fgets(string, 100, stdin)

Here is how you can do it:

char mystr[100];
if ( fgets (mystr, 100 , stdin) != NULL ) {
    puts (mystring);
}

You need to #include <stdio.h> in order for this to compile.

The first pointer must point to a memory block of enough size to fit the number of characters passed in the second pointer.
