what is the usage of scanf function in c programming ?

DrRakha

scanf function is used to get the input data, When reading input with scanf, the input is read after the return key is pressed, but the newline generated by it will be ignored. You will need to as the reference of the variable will carry the input data :

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
   int myData;

   printf("Enter an integer:");
   scanf("%d",&myData); // getting the data
   printf("%d",myData);   // printing the data

   return 0;
}
