Hi. The following gives me a segmentation fault and I don't understand why ..

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{

char text[200];

puts("Enter some text and press <ENTER>");

fgets(text, 200, stdin);

printf("You entered %s\n");

return 0;

}

any help appreciated .
thanks

also just as a safety feature if you want to be able to read in 200 characters make your array 201 characters long, just a safety thing you know
