Input & output methods

Question

Is scanf() is used to take input from user of type integer only or any other data type also...?

Answer 1

You can use a format specifier for what data type of input you want from the user.e.g if you want an int input from the user then,

int x;
scanf("%d", &x);

here we %d format specifier because we want int input from user.

Answer 2

Yes its also use for other data type ,
Like in integer input
int a;
scanf("%d",&a);
For float
float a;
scanf("%f",&a);
So you see the changes only specifier is change .
specifier is :
int :d&i
float:f
char:c
string:s
long int:ld
