Getting multiple values with scanf

Question

I am using scanf   to get a set of ints from the user  But I would like the user to supply all 4 ints at once instead of 4 different promps  I know I can get one value by doing   scanf    i    amp minx     But I would like the user to be able to do something like   Enter Four Ints  123 234 345 456   Is it possible to do this

You can do this with a single call  like so   scanf    i  i  i  i    amp minx   amp maxx   amp miny   amp maxy

Just to add  we can use array as well  int i  array 4   printf  quot Enter Four Ints   quot    for i 0  i lt 4  i          scanf  quot  d quot    amp array i

Yes   int minx  miny  maxx maxy  do      printf  enter four integers        while  scanf   d  d  d  d    amp minx   amp miny   amp maxx   amp maxy   4     The loop is just to demonstrate that scanf returns the number of fields succesfully read  or EOF

Could do this  but then the user has to separate the numbers by a space    include  stdio h   int main         int minx  x  y  z       printf  Enter four ints          scanf    i  i  i  i    amp minx   amp x   amp y   amp z        printf  You wrote   i  i  i  i   minx  x  y  z
