I'm trying to compare two strings. One stored in a file, the other retrieved from the user (stdin).

Here is a sample program:

int main()
{
    char targetName[50];
    fgets(targetName,50,stdin);

    char aName[] = "bob";
    printf("%d",strcmp(aName,targetName));

    return 0;
}

In this program, strcmp returns a value of -1 when the input is 'bob'. Why is this? I thought they should be equal. How can i get it so that they are?
