Hi,
Today I got a really strange problem... I've made myself a data-file and
I read in data from that file....
When I read something like this line:
03 04 05, 00 04 01, 05 03 07, 08 03 00, 09 06 03 ... etc.
with something like scanf("%i %i %i, ", &var1, &var2, &var3);
then it stopped reading data starting with "08", "09" etc... But
everything such as "07" and below worked...
Then I tried scanf("%d %d %d, ", &var1, &var2, &var3);
And the program WORKED!?!!?
Why?
I looked in my C-book and it says absolutetly the same about using %i as
%d.... I'm too tired to cut down my progrm and post a small version of
it now, and it might be that's even unnecessary because somebody know
what's happening...
Compiler: Visual studio 2005, windows xp. I suspect perhaps it's a bug,
if my C book is right that there isn't any difference between %i and %d?
Best regards / Med venlig hilsen

%d effectively calls strtol with a base of 10, so it assumes all numbers
it reads are decimal. %d effectively calls strtol with a base of 0, so it
adapts the base according to any prefix (0, 0x, or 0X) it sees. Thus 08
is an ill formed octal integer.

Your second %d should be a %i.

Decide whether you want numbers with leading '0' to be treated as
octal or decimal.

Maybe it's something to do with octal? A leading 0 is sometimes used for
octal (in C for example) 01 .. 07 are valid octal, 08 isn't.

%d reads a decimal integer.
%i reads a C-like integer, so that a leading 0 means "octal".
Your reference manual should have told you this.

Now I double-checked my book: "C primer plus, 5th edition".
It simply *doesn't* tell this... What a piece of junk...
It says (table 4.6, p.117):
%d = interpret input as a signed decimal integer
.. . .
%i = interpret input as a signed decimal integer
%o = interpret input as a signed octal integer
%x = interpret input as a signed hexadecimal integer
So the above is wrong?
And what are %o and %x for if you can do exactly the same with %0i and
probably %x-something? ? ?

. . .
%i = interpret input as a signed decimal integer
%i will interpret the input as either a signed decimal, octal, or
hexadecimal integer based on the input format.
If the input has a leading 0, it will attempt to interpret it as an
octal value, and if the input has a leading 0x, it will attempt to
interpret it as a hexadecimal value.
Time for a new reference manual, I think. I use Harbison & Steele's
"C: A Reference Manual", currently at 5th edition.
%o = interpret input as a signed octal integer
%x = interpret input as a signed hexadecimal integer
So the above is wrong?
And what are %o and %x for if you can do exactly the same with %0i and
probably %x-something? ? ?
%i is useful when you don't necessarily know ahead of time if your
input is going to be formatted as decimal, octal, or hex, and you want
to be able to handle it correctly. You'd use %d, %o, and %x when you
know the input is always supposed to be formatted in one particular way
(i.e., you're *only* reading hex-formatted input). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
