I need to read data from the file like the following with name and
score, but some line may only has name without score:
joe 100
amy 80
may
Here's my code, but it couldn't read the line with "may" because there
is no score. Anyone knows what is the workaround to this problem?
char name[20];
int score;
while (fscanf(ifp, "%s %d", name, &score) == 2)
{
printf("%s %d\n", name, score);
}
please advice. thanks!! 4 4225

You did not specify what you want to do if you encounter this problem.
One example:
char name[20];
int score;
int ret;
while (EOF != (ret = fscanf(ifp, "%19s %d", name, &score)))
{
if (ret 0) {
printf("%s", name);
if (ret 1) {
printf("%d", score);
}
}
putchar('\n');
}
Next time, explain what you want to do, what you have, how the
results of your code do not match what you expected, and give
a compilable minimal example. This helps us help you.
Cheers
Michael

What makes you think it couldn't read the line?
I'll bet it did it just fine, and returned 1.

fscanf() skips whitespace, including newlines. If you call fscanf
with a format of "%s %d", it will read a blank delimited word, then
look for a decimal integer; if there isn't one on the current line, it
will continue reading lines until it finds either a decimal integer or
something that definitely isn't one.
That might happen to work, but it's fragile. Also, it won't detect
an error such as:
joe 100
amy 80
may
42
fred 97
(I'm assuming you want each name and optional score to be on a single
line.)
A better solution is to read an entire line at a time (use fgets() if
you can assume a maximum line length) and then apply sscanf() to the
resulting string.
An advantage of sscanf() is that it doesn't consume its input; you can
pass the same string to it again with a different format. Another
advantage is that, if the string contains a single line of input, it
won't try to read additional lines; it treats the end of the string
like end-of-file.

Apologies if this is in the FAQ. I looked, but didn't find it.
In a particular program the input read from a file is supposed to be:

- 101 201 name2
It is parsed by reading the + character, and then sending the
remainder into fscanf() like

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
