Storing a name in array using C?

When the program starts I need to prompt for the Users name and store it in an array . I need to be able to frequently insert it in the printf("Ben (this was entered earlier) , please enter blah blah...") like so. Can someone please help me with this. I appreciate any help , or even a link where I can look it up as I was not able to find much on this . Thank you :)

Storing a name in array using C?
There are two ways, select which you feel suitable


first


char *name; // no matter if name istoo long


printf("Enter your name:");


scanf("%s",name); //or you can use


//gets(name);


//to print simply


printf("%s",name);





or by using arrays


char name[20]; //length limited upto 20 chars only


printf("Enter name:");


scanf("%s",name);


printf("%s",name);
