Me: But fgets() is not guaranteed to return a newline character. Can you improve the code?
==========================
You're correct that fgets() may not return the newline character if the
input buffer is filled before encountering a newline. Here's an updated
version of the code that handles this case:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>
int get_wattage(char *sys) {
return (rand() % 20) * 50 + 200;
}
int main() {
srand(time(NULL));
char sys1[256], sys2[256];
int watt1, watt2;
printf("Utility to check power supply compatibility.\n");
printf("Enter name of system #1: ");
if (fgets(sys1, 256, stdin) == NULL) {
perror("fgets failed");
exit(1);
}
sys1[strcspn(sys1, "\n")] = '\0';
if (sys1[0] == '\0') {
fprintf(stderr, "Invalid input: system name cannot be empty\n");
exit(1);
}
printf("Enter name of system #2: ");
if (fgets(sys2, 256, stdin) == NULL) {
perror("fgets failed");
exit(1);
}
sys2[strcspn(sys2, "\n")] = '\0';
if (sys2[0] == '\0') {
fprintf(stderr, "Invalid input: system name cannot be empty\n");
exit(1);
}
watt1 = get_wattage(sys1);
watt2 = get_wattage(sys2);
if (watt1 == watt2) {
printf("%s and %s can use the same power supply (%d watt)\n", sys1, sys2, watt1);
} else {
printf("%s and %s cannot use the same power supply as they use %d and %d watt\n", sys1, sys2, watt1, watt2);
}
return 0;
}
