Using scanf with NSStrings

Question

I want the user to input a string and then assign the input to an NSString. Right now my code looks like this:

NSString *word; 

scanf(\"%s\", &word);
         


        

Answer 1

This is how I'd do it:

char word [40];
scanf("%s",word);

NSString * userInput = [[NSString alloc] initWithCString: word encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
