C/C++ Problems with C program- Not C++ and not Java

[jasonsmith206]

A user types a word and a number on a single line. Read them into the provided variables. Then print: word_number. End with newline. Example output if user entered: Amy 5

Amy_5
#include <stdio.h>int main(void) {
char userWord[20] = "";
int userNum = 0;

/* Your solution goes here */

return 0;
}Was part of homework but its over a week old. Just want to know how to work it and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

One way to finish the program is

  scanf("%s %d", userWord, &userNum);
  printf("%s_%d\n", userWord, userNum);

To understand it, you need to know about pointers and their relation to arrays.

wow!

i did everything right on scanf but instead of printing what you've got i put (userWord and userNum to = word_number).. so close yet so far. Thank you so much for your help that one was driving me crazy!
