Section 4.12 Summary
Here is what we have learned in this chapter:
-
Integer numbers can be stored efficiently in the int datatype, characters in the char datatype and floating point numbers in the float datatype.
-
The format specifiers for these datatypes are %d, %c and %f.
- To read user input into these datatypes, use:
scanf("%d", &age);
scanf("%c", &letter);
scanf("%f", &height);
