fscanf (STDIN, "%d", &a);
the program goes beserk as soon as the first non-number is read out of standard input.
in both cases, you need error checking (which you "know about").

No actual C programmer who has been around the block more than halfway should do that. The mantra is: "read into a character buffer, then parse that".
It's more code, sure, but it buys you a lot of good things. I/O is hard.
