The following is an example of a conversion specification:

    main ()
    {
       char str[] = "4 17";
       int   temp,
             temp2;

       sscanf(str, "%d %d", &temp, &temp2);
       printf("The answers are %d and %d.", temp, temp2);
    }

    This example produces the following output:

    $ RUN  EXAMPLE
    The answers are 4 and 17.
