#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>//cause we are woking with string variable.
int main(){
    char name[100];
    printf("Hello, User! What name should I call you?");
    scanf("%s", name);
    
    if (strlen(name) <= 2) //strlen is tag to count the length of a name(string).
    {
        printf("Nope, Your name has to be atleast 3 characters!");
    } else {
        printf("Oh, Hi, %s!", name);
    }

you need to first measure the lenth of string using strlen() function and then use if else condition

For calculating lenght of string ,you should use strlen function which is included in string.h library file.

#include<stdio.h>

#include<string.h>

int main()

{
    char name[100];
    int len;
    printf("Hello, User! What name should I call you?");
    scanf("%s", name);
    len=strlen(name);
    
    if (len <= 2) {
        printf("Nope, Your name has to be atleast 3 characters!");
    } else {
        printf("Oh, Hi, %s!", name);
    }
    return 0;
}
