Re: Things to Avoid in C/C++ -- scanf / number, Part 8

I just posted a GID Community blog entitled: Things to Avoid in C/C++ -- scanf / number, Part 8.

Quote:
scanf() / Reading a number

This is where scanf() actually doesn't do a bad job. Not great, but not bad either. What it does right is read the entire value. It ignores white space and new-lines too. What it does wrong is mess up if an illegal character is entered. But to be fair, it does tell you about it. Usually. Most programmers just don't listen. read more...

Please let me know what you think.
