Using ifstream as fscanf

Question

Assume that I have an input as follows:

N (X_1,Y_1) (X_2,Y_2) .... (X_N, Y_N)

where N, X_i and Y_i are integers.

An example:

Answer 1

cin >> N;
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
    cin.ignore(100,'(');
    cin >> X[i];
    cin.ignore(100,',');
    cin >> Y[i];
    cin.ignore(100,')');
}

It can handle whitespaces also, as it can read input like:

2  (  1  ,  3  )    (  5  ,  6  )
