4.20.7.Reading and discarding characters from the input stream

#include <stdio.h>



int main()

{ 

   int month1; 

   int day1;   

   int year1;  

   int month2; 

   int day2;   

   int year2;  

   

   printf( "Enter a date in the form mm-dd-yyyy: " );

   scanf( "%d%*c%d%*c%d", &month1, &day1, &year1 );



   printf( "month = %d  day = %d  year = %d\n\n", month1, day1, year1 );

   

   printf( "Enter a date in the form mm/dd/yyyy: " );

   scanf( "%d%*c%d%*c%d", &month2, &day2, &year2 );

   

   printf( "month = %d  day = %d  year = %d\n", month2, day2, year2 );



   return 0; 



}

Enter a date in the form mm-dd-yyyy: 01-01-2001
month = 1  day = 1  year = 2001

Enter a date in the form mm/dd/yyyy: 01/01/2002
month = 1  day = 1  year = 2002
