Scanf

When using scanf:

For integers:            scanf(“%d”,& variablename);

For characters:       scanf(“%c”, & variablename);

For floats:                 scanf(“%f”,& variablename);

For strings:               scanf(“%s”, variablename);

 

NOTES:

• Don’t use ‘&’ when storing strings.
• Don’t use “%.2f” when scanning in a float as this will lose some accuracy of the value. It should only be used with printf for rounding a number to the required decimal place.
