no like this is what I want..
Code: Select all
getf("type your number: %s",num);
rather than
printf("type your number: ");
scanf("%s",num);

How is that code supposed to know what is input and what is output? The point of printf is that it's all output, scanf is all input. You can't practically make a mix between them without assuming a number of things that make a lot of applications impossible.

can we have a new escape sequence? Or ASCII?

In your own OS API library, you can implement whatever you like. Standard C is defined by the standard document, and doesn't know mixed input / output or "other escape sequences".
