Hello

If scanf() fails for a matching error, what can we say about the location 
of the file pointer for subsequent reads from stdin? Could it have read 
on through an indeterminate amount of stdin, or will it always be 
positioned immediately after the last successful conversion from the 
format string?

Regards
