Integer may be octal or in hexadecimal : %i Example using printf and scanf function
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a = 0;
scanf("%i", &a); // input is 017 (octal of 15 )
printf("%d\n", a);
scanf("%i", &a); // input is 0xf (hexadecimal of 15 )
printf("%d\n", a);
return 0;
} 017
15

This function take input using standard input (keyboard) and store it in variable accordingly. It returns the number of items successfully read. Formal parameter arg1, agr2, .. must be a pointer
First read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.
After understanding this example, try to rewrite the same program without looking at the code. Then change some values or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and keeps learners engaged on the page for longer.
