what is the difference between scansets in scanf() function?

Question

I have read all of the questions about these, but I have not found an explanation for the difference between %[^\\n]s and %[^\\n] in the scan

Answer 1

Adding [^\n] in scanf() means skip over any new line char. It consumes all apart from new line char.

The the * flag signals that no assignment should be made. In this case * char. [\n] skips over any leading newline characters

In other words: %*[^\n] scans means everything until a \n(Doesn't scan \n) and discards.
