That's because gets() is not a standard function and has been removed from C/C++ latest standards because of its dangerous behaviour of overflowing the buffer. You should use fgets() as an alternative Learn more about fgets () here👇 https://www.educative.io/edpresso/how-to-use-the-fgets-function-in-c

gets() has been removed from the latest version of c standard .Sololearn in based on c latest compiler. You can use this get a string with gaps: scanf ("%[^\n]%*c", string);
