Thread: Can a scanf function see a number input "1234" as 4 separate numbers?

Here's my answer to my C course question. I'm proud, even though it's only small. It does what I think the original question is:

Code:

	EE Programming Fundamentals Lab 3
	Question 4
*/

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int inNum, outNum[4];

    do {
        printf("Enter a 4-digit number: ");
        scanf("%d", &inNum);
    } while ((inNum < 1000) || (inNum > 9999));
    
    outNum[0] = inNum/1000;
    inNum -= 1000*(inNum/1000);
    
    outNum[1] = inNum/100;
    inNum -= 100*(inNum/100);
    
    outNum[2] = inNum/10;
    inNum -= 10*(inNum/10);
    
    outNum[3] = inNum;
    
    printf("Your number is %d %d %d %d.\n",outNum[0], outNum[1], outNum[2], outNum[3]);

    return 0;
}

/*End of programme*/

Output:

Code:

[ec09411@dil015 3_4]$ ./Lab3_4
Enter a 4-digit number: 6546
Your number is 6 5 4 6.
[ec09411@dil015 3_4]$
