Question

Can %s format specifier that stores string consisting of sequence character store sequence of integers? If yes..can you please explain?

Answer 1

Numbers are represented with characters anyway, so YES you can read a number with the "%s" specifier and store it in a char[] array, after that you can change the representation of the character string to a numeric variable (a binary representation) with the use of atoi() or strtol().
