Can anyone tell me why this code crashes? It's simple, if the length of the string is > than 16, ask again for a string. It works if I write control = 1 inside the if statement, but it should work the same without it, 'cause the value of control at that point is 1, am I right?
thans (I'm learning)

```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int
main(void)
{
    int control = 1;
    char word[16] ;
    printf("Enter a word: ");

    while(control == 1)
    {
        scanf("%s", word);

        int len = strlen(word);
        printf("Lenght is: %d\n", len);

        if (len >= 16) 
        {
            printf("Word lenght to long, enter a new one: ");
        }

        else
        {
            control = 0;
        }

    }
    printf("This is the word: %s\n", word );

}
