Linux/Unix systems use the ASCII character encoding format
Most IBM products use the EBCDIC character encoding format
There is also a character encoding format called Unicode
For this class we will only work with ASCII
If you are interested in this type of thing, I suggest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding
as a short tutorial/history lesson.

Reminder: Before a function in a C program is invoked, or called, it must be declared. Otherwise, the compiler will output an error message when you compile. Remember also that a definition of a function includes a declaration.
When we want to use I/O functions in the C standard library, we will include stdio.h in our source file, which contains declarations of these library functions, so that the compiler can do type-checking of our calls to these functions.
We will only look at some of the most commonly used of these functions here.
They are all you need for the labs in this course (and all you are allowed to use in your lab programs).

There is no input or output defined in C itself; functions have been written and incorporated into the standard library for input and output (stdio).
Two basic types of I/O:
Character based (no format specifiers) character by character I/O
{
/* check1.c shows calls to scanf() and printf() */ int x;
scanf(%d
, &x); /* Notice address operator & */ printf(x=%d
, x);
}
int getchar() input
int putchar(c) output
Formatted zero or more characters, with a requirement to specify the format of the
input or output (how the sequence of characters read or written is to be interpreted):
int scanf(parameters go in here) input white space is important!!!
int printf(parameters go in here) output
These functions use format strings to specify interpretation (% before string)
Two functions of a very few in C that can have a differing number of parameters each time they are called.
Example:
#include
int main()
J. E. Jones

OSU CSE 2421
These functions can be used to input and output one character at a time.
Declarations (interfaces):
int getchar(void);
int putchar(int); /* the int value returned can be ignored */
Notice that both of these functions use the integer (4-byte) values which correspond to a given 1-byte ASCII character. The integer must be cast before being assigned to a char variable or must be printed with a %c format code to be output as a char with printf().
An integer is returned, rather than a char, because certain text file control values (EOF, or end of file, for example) do not have one-byte ASCII encodings. Check out the ASCII char represented by 0b 1111 1111.
Now would be a good time to review the ASCII character chart on piazza Take note of the values for 0-9, a-z, A-Z and their relationship.

/* another way to do it again, assume #include */

Both format I/O
Both manipulate standard I/O location the keyboard
for input, and the terminal display for output (although we can use something called redirection on the command line to change this more below)
printf output
Converts values to a character form, according to the format
string, and prints them to standard out (stdout)
scanf input
Converts characters from standard in (stdin), according to the
format string, and followed by pointer arguments (i.e., addresses), indicating where the resulting values are to be stored

When programming in C, you use format strings the percentage sign and a conversion code, for the most part (although some other characters between % and the conversion character are optional see below) as placeholders for variables you want to read from input or display. The above table shows the format strings and what they display
Conversion Character
Displays Argument (Variables Contents) As
%c %d, %i %e
%f
Single character
%g
Signed value in %e or %f format, whichever is shorter
%o %s %u
Unsigned octal (base 8) integer (int) String of text (NULL terminated) Unsigned decimal integer (int)
%x %%
Unsigned hexadecimal (base 16) integer (int) (percent character)
Signed decimal integer (int)
Signed floating-point value in E notation
Signed floating-point value (float)

/* NOTE: The codes for formatted I/O from above are used */
printf(%dt%d
, fahr, celsius);
Causes the values of the two integers fahr and celsius to be printed, with a tab
(t) between them, and followed by a newline(
). printf(%3dt%6d
, fahr, celsius);
To print the first number to three digits wide, and the second to six digits wide
NOTE: Each % construction in the first argument of printf is paired with the corresponding second argument, third argument, etc.; they must match up properly by number and type, or you will get wrong answers or a compile time error.
printf(
a=%f
b=%f
c=%f

printf(
a=%f
b=%f
c=%f
d=%f
,a,b,c,d); If a=6.2, b=5.455, c=3.1415, d=6.0, then output is:
a=6.200000 b=5.455000 c=3.141500 d=6.000000
printf(
a=%4.2f
b=%6.4f
c=%5f
d=%3f
,a,b,c,d); If a=6.2, b=5.455, c=3.1415, d=6.0, then output is:
a=6.20 b=5.4550 c=3.141500 d=6.000000

int y = 25; printf(%d

output: 25

25 two spaces before two-digit value
25 00025
minimum field width specified is too small to print the value of the data, so printf ignores it! leading zeroes used to fill minimum field width

int int_1; long long_1;

IMPORTANT: scanf ignores leading (but not following) white space characters when it reads numeric values from input:
int i;
printf(Enter an integer:
); scanf(%d, &i);
/*scanf will ignore any leading white space characters */

OSU CSE 2421
char string1[10]; /* IMPORTANT: string must hold 9 chars + null */
scanf(%9s, string1); /*array identifier is */ /*address of 1st element*/
Input:
VeryLongString
string1==VeryLongS
int int1;
scanf(%*s %i, &int1);
/*read arbitrary length*/
Input:
Age: 29
int1 has the value 29 Age: is not saved
/*string of non-numeric*/ /*chars before int1 */
NOTE: pressing the enter key causes characters that are being held in the input buffer to be transferred to standard in (stdin)
J. E. Jones

OSU CSE 2421
int int1, int2; scanf(%2i, &int1); scanf(%2i, &int2); Input:
2345
Then:
int1 has the value 23 int2 has the value 45
NOTE: pressing the enter key causes characters being held in the input buffer to be transferred to standard in (stdin)

What is the difference between %i and %d? The table says they both print signed decimal integers.
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-d-format-specifier-c- language/
I really cant explain it any better than this link does.
printf: There is no difference between the %i and %d format
specifiers
scanf: %d and %i behave differently
%d assume base 10 while %i auto detects the base.
For example, 012 would be 1210 with %d but 1010 (128)with %i.
