Question
Hi Sir:

I was trying to read a line from the standard in put console with the string limited by the length parameter. I have predefined skeleton of the function void getline(char *buf, size_t len), so here i have to read line of string into buf but when i enter string which is greater then len, next time i call function it seems it automatically takes the string from 10 to end of the string which i entered before and is unwanted , i tried flushing buffer by the fflush(stdin) but still its not working, can you please tell me another method of dong that?

Answer
