  scanf 
 
  The  {C}  library  routine  that  reads  data  from  the  {standard 
  input}  {stream}  {stdin}  into  the  locations  given  by  each  entry 
  in  its  argument  list.  The  first  argument  is  a  format  string 
  which  controls  interpretation  of  the  input  and  each  subsequent 
  argument  points  to  a  variable  with  a  type  that  corresponds  to 
  a  type  specifier  in  the  format-string.
