Scanf
The scanf tag can be used to process data from the input attribute and parse/extract different elements from this property while following the syntax of the scanf function found in the C programming language.

One thing to note that is important with scanf is that it will read exactly what you tell it, so if you say read back "%2.2f" it will try to read back a float that has 2 digits in the whole part of the number and two fractional digits. So be aware because it wont' consume any extra digits or do any type of conversion.
