Question

I am pretty new in C and I have a question about scanf just for digits. What I need to do is scanf in input just 3 digits, antoher characters or symbols should be evaluate as trash. Or maybe I need use isdigit() but I am not sure how it works. I have just that, but I know that it doesn’t work:

scanf("%d, %d, %d", &z, &x, &y);

You could read a string, use a scan set to filter it and convert it to an integer.

See scanf: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/sscanf/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
    char num1[256], num2[256], num3[256]; 

    scanf("%s %s %s", num1, num2, num3);
    sscanf(num1, num2, num3, "%[0-9]d %[0-9]d %[0-9]d", num1, num2, num3);

    int n1 = atoi(num1), n2 = atoi(num2), n3 = atoi(num3); // convert the strings to int

    printf("\n%d %d %d\n", n1, n2, n3);

    return 0;
}
