I've looked at various means of reading the users input, but I am sort of confused about something. If a char has an int value, and an int, a char value, what if your program is expecting either of these types of input? Since you specify how the incoming data will be formatted, how can you tell if the user intended it to be a character, or an integer?
>how can you tell if the user intended it to be a character, or an integer?
If they intended it to be anything other than you asked for then you should print an error, or they deserve incorrect output.But in practice the equivalence of integers and characters rarely poses a problem since a wise program will read everything as character strings and break it up into individual values after validation.
