#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)

{

char s[] = "31298 87.375";

int x;

float y;

printf("Using sscanf()/sscanf_()\n");

printf("------------------------\n");

// sscanf(s, "%d%f", &x, &y); - using the secure version

sscanf_s(s, "%d%f", &x, &y);

printf("array, s[] = 31298 87.375\n");

printf("\n%s\n%s%6d\n%s%8.3f\n",

"The values stored in character array s are: ",

"Integer: ", x, "Float: ", y);

return 0;

}

Output example:
