My question is whether or not it is possible to directly pass the parsed stuff from (s)scanf to a function call. In other words whether I have to initialise the variables which I want to pass to the function (and read via scanf) or not.

sscanfreturns the number of successful conversions. It does not return the converted values.So, you wouldn’t be passing in the newly converted data when passing the return value of
sscanfdirectly into another function (if that is what you are asking).
