By that, I mean, validate your data before you try to use it. If you
are expecting a range of numbers, or a set of characters, make sure
the user have given you what you are expecting. Or if your data is
only supposed to be a certain length, make sure the user haasn't given
you something longer. Some older C I/O functions, like gets, will let
a user enter an arbitrary amount of data, exposing the program to
dangerous buffer overruns. These kinds of functions should never be
used.
