The use of the debugger can help you out a great deal in this situation.

add getchar(); just before the loop ends.

instead of using gets() use fgets() as gets() may results in buffer space over run.

First of all, don't use gets(), use getline() instead. See http://www.crasseux.com/books/ctutorial/gets.html[^].

See an example of getline() at http://www.crasseux.com/books/ctutorial/getline.html#getline[^].
