Taking User Input in C Programming

Learn how to use scanf function to take input from users

Introduction

  • Welcome back to the series on C programming
  • In this video, we will learn to take input from users and store it in variables
  • We will be using the scanf function for this purpose
  • The scanf function takes input from the user and stores it in a variable
  • Similar to printf, we use format specifiers to specify the type of input data

Taking Integer Input

  • Declare an integer variable
  • Use the scanf function to take input from the user
  • Use the printf function to print the input value

Taking Double and Character Input

  • Declare variables for double and character input
  • Use the scanf function to take input from the user
  • Use the printf function to print the input values

Taking Multiple Inputs

  • Use a single scanf function to take multiple inputs
  • Separate the format specifiers with commas
  • Use the printf function to print the input values

Exercise: Taking Integer and Float Input

  • Write a program to take integer and float input from the user
  • Use the scanf function and format specifiers to handle different input types
