How to input 2 digit number in one character?

Question

a part of my program is

char m,n;
scanf("%c %c", &m,&n);

it's okay if I add numbers less than 10
for example
(input like
4 3
or
4
3)

but if I want to enter 43 and 54

(input like
43 54
or
4354)
it outputs 4 & 3 taking only 4 and 3 as input

how can I enter two digits in m or n?

Answer 1

you can't as m and n are characters (you can not store 2 integers in one)
Use string instead in C++, or char * in C (but in C you'll have to know the length max of the Word you'll read)

Answer 2

Storing 2 values or more can be done by declaring an array of size 2 and storing each value in the array .

For example ;

int array [2] = { 43 , 45 } ;

This is an addition program :

#include <iostream>
using namespace std ;

int main ()
{
int array [2] = { 43 , 45 } ;
int sum = 0 ;

for ( int i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i++ )
sum += array [ i ] ;

cout << "Result : " << sum ;

return 0 ;
}

Thank you for your replies, I've found another method to solve those problems that don't require the use of characters. :)
