User Inputs in Merge K sorted Arrays

#1

In this Merge K sorted Arrays Question, how to take inputs from user.
for eg…
user enters k=3;
so 3 arrays should be taken as input from user;
the size of each array is unknown.
How to take inputs in this case

@arnav.dawer hey arnav you can take 2 dimensional array to take inputs

#3

thanks
but since number of inputs in each array is unknown .so how to iterate?

#4

@arnav.dawer you can use while(scanf("%d", array) != EOF)

#5

EOF i guess would read till end of inputs.
but in my case i want that for inputs of array 1 to be stored in a[1]; array 2 in a[2] and so on.
like the inputs are
0 1 2 3 // array 1
4 8 9 6 4 5 //array 2
1 2 3 8 10 12 //array 3

now using the condition of ‘\n’ …ie… read till enter key is pressed doesnt store the arrays as desired

Please help
