badal jha it should be like scanf("%[^\n]s", char) It will keep taking input until it doesn't encounter any new line[Enter key].

you can use this code to input and print any character string or character array using scanf() But as Avinash said gets() is better and easy. https://code.sololearn.com/cfK3B8W8y3fX/?ref=app

You cannot use scanf to take a string type as long as it is more than 1 word. May be you can use gets(). Edit: Sorry wasn't aware of the solution others mentioned.
