Thread: Get a positive/negative input from user

Code:

scanf("%d",&num);

I can use this to get positive numbers from the user easily.

But say I also want the user to enter negative numbers, like "-10."

Obviously I would have to check and see if the first character is a "-" or not, then get whatever the integer after the "-" is.

I'm not sure whether scanf can be used to scan characters and integers at the same time. Is it possible, or should I use a different function?

Wow. I got it, haha. Thanks!
