At the moment I'm using scanf() - I need to read a value from the
keyboard and compare it with a generated one made by a program.

Here's the code :

char * enter;

scanf("%s", enter);
printf("Entered string : %s", enter);
if (enter == chalcrypt) printf("it worked!");

For entered string, '(null)' is displayed, and that only.
What am I doing wrong?

Is there an easier way to read the keyboard?
I've tried gets() but I've got stuck there too :(
