title: Using scanf to scan multiple chars and ints at once
body: <p>Question seems relatively straight-forward and basic. Seems like it would have been asked before, but I couldn't find anything using search engines. Pretty much I need a user to input multiple variables and i  store then in one scan. I'm new to C so I wasn't sure why this wasn't working. I know it's something novice, but being a novice at C I'm not sure.</p>
  
  <p>Pretty much the user would input something like "* 2 4", but for some reason the variables values never get changed in the next method.</p>
  
  <p>Even if I put <code>printf("Values are %d and %d", &amp;start, &amp;end);</code> immediately after the scan, the values still don't change.</p>
  
  <pre><code>char symb;
  int start, end;
  printf("Enter a symbol, a start point, and an end point : ");
  scanf("%c %d %d", &amp;symb, &amp;start, &amp;end);
  do_function(symb, start, end);
  </code></pre>
