Suppose I want a user to enter an integer between 1 and 8.
To start with, here is the program that uses scanf to accept integer from user.
#include <stdio.h> #include <cs50.h> int main (void) { int number; printf ("enter a number "); scanf ("%i", &number); printf ("the number entered is %i", number); }
Gradually, I am to let the user enter integer between 1 and 8. If anything else is entered, the cursor will wait till the user enters integer between 1 and 8 (Mario World 1-1). The Hints apparenty prescribes to use get_int.
My query is if a similar objective cannot be by scanf. What is the difference between scanf and get_int? Is get_int better, more powerful?
