If we want to skip any input then we specify ' * ' between % sign and converstion specifier.The input is read but it is not assign to any address,so this is called as
Suppression of character.
for example: scanf("%d %*d %d",&a,&b,&c);
Input format:
a=25,b=15,c=30
here,25 is stored into a variable, 15 is skipped and 30 is stored into b variable, and c is stored with garbage.
output format
a=25,b=30,c=garbage
