Using strstr to determine if a given string contains a string with spaces [C] -
i'm working through example of using strstr() function. 
if input "pamela sue smith", why program output ""pamela" sub-string!" , not ""pamela sue smith" sub-string!".
#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h>  void main(void) {   char str[72];   char target[] = "pamela sue smith";    printf("enter string: ");   scanf("%s", str);    if (strstr( target, str) != null )     printf(" %s sub-string!\n", str); } 
- mainnot have return-type- void- int.
- scanfcan fail. check return-value.
 if successful, returns number of parameters assigned.
- %sreads non-whitespace, until next whitespace (thus 1 word).
- %snot limit how many non-whitespace characters read. buffer-overflow can deadly.
 use- %71s(buffer-size: string-length + 1 terminator)
- you swapped arguments strstr.
