What is the easiest way to get an int in a console app?

Question

I want to process user input as an integer, but it seems as though C has no way to get an int from stdin. Is there a function to do this? How would I go about getting an int

Answer 1

The standard library function scanf is used for formatted input: %d int (the d is short for decimal)

#include 
int main(void)
{
  int number;
  printf("Enter a number from 1 to 1000: ");

  scanf("%d",&number); 
  printf("Your number is %d\n",number);
  return 0;
}
