The scanf() function returns the count of number of input fields successfully scanned, converted, and stored.
Therefore, scanf("%d", &i) will return 1 because it reads one input from the user.
If we use a scanf() statement like scanf("%d %d", &intRollNo, &intAge), it will return 2, because it reads two input values.
Hope you understand this. Have a nice day!
