title: Is it possible to replace the %d
body: <pre><code>int main()
  {
      int M1[5][5], M2[10][3];
      int i, j, k = 1, m, n;
      int x, y, z, l = 0;
      cout &lt;&lt; "Enter number of row ";
      cin &gt;&gt; m;
      cout &lt;&lt; "Enter number of columns";
      cin &gt;&gt; n;
      printf("\nEnter the elements of the matrix :\n");
  
      for (i = 0; i &lt; m; i++)
      {
          for (j = 0; j &lt; n; j++)
          {
              scanf ("%d", &amp;M1[i][j]);
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to replace the 'scanf' with 'cin' but is it possible to replace the '%d' by something else and still keeping the data?</p>
