Topics
• Streams
• printf function
• scanf function
![Page 3: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Data storage
• Data can be stored in two different ways:
– by assignment to a variable
– copying data from an input device into a variable using a function like scanf
![Page 4: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Input operation
• Sometimes, it is need to copy data into a variable for a program to manipulate different data each time it executes
– This data transfer from the outside world into memory is called an input operation
![Page 5: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Output operation
• As the program executes, it performs computations and stores the results in memory
• These program results can be displayed to the user by an output operation
![Page 6: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Input/Output
Program
![Page 7: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Input/output functions
• All input/output operations in C are performed by special program units called input/output functions
• You can gain access to most of the operations through the preprocessor directive
– #include <stdio.h>
![Page 8: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Input/output functions
• In C, a function call is used to call or activate a function
• Calling a function is analogous to asking a friend to perform an urgent task
![Page 9: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Streams
• Text input or output is dealt with as a sequence of characters
• A stream serves as a channel to convey characters between I/O and programs
![Page 10: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Streams
• From the program's point of view, the characters are queued in a pipe
• The sequence of characters is organized into lines
• Each line:
– can have zero or more characters
– ends with the "newline" character '\n'
![Page 24: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
"Standard" Streams • Standard streams:
– stdin - standard input
• usually from keyboard
– stdout - standard output
• usually to screen
– stderr - standard error
• usually to screen
• must have at the top of your program #include <stdio.h>
• can be redirected

stdin: Input
• Data is read in from stdin (into a variable) using the scanf() function

stdout:Output
• Data (e.g., from a variable) is written out to stdout using the printf() function.

scanf: Conversion Specifiers
•d: read an optionally signed decimal
integer
•i: read an optionally signed decimal, octal,
or hexadecimal integer
i and d: the argument is a “pointer” to an
integer int idNumber;
scanf("%d", &idNumber);

scanf: Conversion Specifiers (cont)
• h or l: placed before any integer conversion
specifiers to indicate that a short or long integer is to be input long int idNumber;

Skipping Characters in Input Stream
• Skipping blank spaces
scanf("%d %d %d", &day, &month, &year);
• An alternative – Enter data as dd-mm-yyyy: 16-3-1999
– Store each number in date variables
scanf("%d-%d-%d", &day, &month, &year);

Displaying Prompts
• When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting message or prompt, that tells the user what data to enter and if necessary, the format of the input
![Page 52: Introduction to C - Yola · 2017. 3. 16. · Displaying Prompts •When input data are needed in an interactive program, it is better to use the printf function to display a prompting](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071108/5fe2ff013de41c5997253fe1/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Displaying Prompts - Examples
• printf(“Enter the distance in miles> “);
scanf(“%lf”, &miles);
• printf(“Enter date as dd-mm-yyyy”);
scanf("%d-%d-%d", &day, &month, &year);

Formatting output
• Using justification for decimal numbers
– int a=15, b=116;
printf(“%d\n”,a);
printf(“%d”,b);
Output:
15
116

Formatting output
• Floating point numbers
– double fp = 251.7366;
printf( "%f %.3f %.2f %e %E\n", fp, fp, fp, fp,fp );
Output:
251.736600 251.737 251.74
2.517366e+002 2.517366E+002

Formatting output with \n
• \n is an escape sequence in C
• The cursor is a moving place market that indicates the next position on the screen where information will be displayed
• When executing a printf function, the cursor is advanced to the start of the next line on the screen if \n is encountered in the format string

\n Examples
• printf(“Here is the first line\n“);
printf(“\nand this is the second.\n“);
• Here is the first line
and this is the second.

• Example: – printf(“age id\n”);
printf(“--- ------\n”);
printf(“%d %d\n”,age1,id1);
printf(“%d %d\n”,age2,id2);
– Output:
age id

Summary
• Input from keyboard is via the stdin stream using the scanf() function
• Output to the screen is via the stdout stream using the printf() function
• Streams carry characters
– divided into lines with „\n‟ character
• To use the C library functions, you must include the stdio.h header file
• Input and output can be formatted
