Help With Creating Co - ordinates Program

hey im new to this forum and also unfortunately new to c programming lol!
i have only just started becoming use to using C Programming
my question is:
im designing a very simple (read: VERY Simple) C program which can take in the co-ordinates of any set of numbers similar to those found on a cartesian graph
these co-ordinates (normally a set in the form of (x,y) &(a,b))are entered via the user but the program then needs to distinguish the difference between both X and A and then Y and B
would guys have any tips out there on how to go about creating a program as such?
it wood be such a great help!

Well, you could start with a program which reads some input from the user, performs some kind of conversion, and prints the converted result back to the user.

Then work on the next step of your assignment.

Have the user enter coordinates in pairs, and always handle coordinates in pairs, (x, y) style. That way, you'll never lose track. You could also create a struct (if you've learned that already) to store a coordinate pair, if you feel up to it.
