Why visual studio cant do this is says "function does not take 1 arguments"

#include <stdafx.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> void main(){ char *s = (char *)malloc(100); int b = 0, max = 0; gets_s(s); while (*s){ if (*s == ' ') b++; if (b > max) max = b; s++; } puts(s); }

1. int main rather than void main. 2. function `gets_s` requires 2 arguments given, the buffer, and the buffer size. http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/io/gets 3. Don't forget to `free(s);` Hth, cmiiw

Have you changed the call for `gets_s` function yet? if not, you need to work on that part, example: gets_s(s, 100); Mind that 100 is the allocated bytes for <s>, set this value accordingly with the malloc call.
