[QUOTE="ZoneAye, post: 14574, member: 18741"] Hi guys this is my third C Programming Tutorial in this tutorial we will be looking at the Scanf function. It is a very easy function to learn/use. It is used to allow the user to input data and then store the data. This is a example of code using Scanf :) int main() { // variable int age; // output to screen (question) printf("Enter Age: "); // storing input scanf("%d", &age); // outputting answer printf("You are %d years old", age); fflush(stdin); getchar(); } As you can see when we are storing a integer using scanf we still use the character conversation %d this is because we storing a integer ovb. When u use Print and Scanf always use fflush(stdin); if you don't your program may not work. All the code will do when you run it is output this on the console: "Enter Age : 17 " <-- enter age "You are 17 years old" <-- out puts entered age etc You will not see the scanf or any other code in the console this is a quick brake down: *runs code Enter age: " <-- waits for u to enter age MUST be whole number scanf <-- stores input "You are (age) years old" <-- outputs age entered you can use scanf for basically anything when inputting data i would recommend messing about with it and try to figure out why & is next to age in the scanf statement its very easy :) - Zone [/QUOTE]
