For the first one, u have answer in question itself, there is no place for null character. So, when compiler starts printing the string and it doesnt find any null character, it doesnt know where to stop, ergo garbage value.
And i didnt get the second question, what error r u getting in C???

have you tried this c program in unix? my friend it is not c or c++, it is compiler. turbo c compiler does not consider appending a null once you press enter after scanf. so to avoid this, they have given the facility of 'gets'

guyz my second que is
if i ll take thesize of array in even no. in c and c++ it will not generate error. but if i take size in odd numbers it will genrate error in c++ but not in c compiler..................
this was the main question.
