I have tried using:

scanf("%d %d %d", &hour, &min, &sec);
printf("%d %d %d", hour, min, sec);

but it does not work, I think I have to bypass the ":" but am unsure how to do this.

Cheers

  • when calling any of the `scanf()` family of functions, always check the returned value (not the parameter values) to assure the operation was successful. – user3629249 Sep 09 '18 at 02:05

Please try:

if (scanf("%d:%d:%d", &hour, &min, &sec) != 3)
    …error handling…
