Question: How do I use scanf( ) to read the date in the form 'dd-mm-yy' ?
Answer: There are two ways to read the date in the form of 'dd-mm-yy' one possible way is...int dd, mm, yy ; char ch ; /* for char '-' */ printf ( "nEnter the date in the form of dd-mm-yy : " ) ; scanf( "%d%c%d%c%d", &dd, &ch, &mm, &ch, &yy ) ; And another best way is to use suppression character * as... int dd, mm, yy ; scanf( "%d%*c%d%*c%d", &dd, &mm, &yy ) ; The suppression character * suppresses the input read from the standard input buffer for the assigned control character. |
