Extract a substring from a string from specified position

Extract a substring (substr) of length n from a string (str) from specified position (pos)


#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
                char str[20], substr[20];
                int n, pos, i, j=0;

                printf("\nEnter the string:");
                gets(str);
                printf("\nEnter the position:");
                scanf("%d", &pos);
                printf("\nEnter the length of substring:");
                scanf("%d", &n);

                i = pos;
                while(str[i] != '\0'  &&  n>0)
                {
                                substr[j] = str[i];
                                i++;
                                j++;
                                n--;
                }
                substr[j] = '\0';

                printf("\nThe substring is:");
                puts(substr);

}

Output:
Enter the string:               hello hii abc
Enter the position:          2
Enter the length of substring:     5
The substring is:               llo h
