c primer 中有个程序的函数部分不是太清楚，麻烦大家给讲解下，谢谢！
这个程序的流程 看的有点晕乎 ，三个函数也不知道具体含义
/* checking.c -- validating input */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
// validate that input is an integer
int get_int(void);
// validate that range limits are valid
bool bad_limits(int begin, int end, int low, int high);
// calculate the sum of the squares of the integers
// a through b
double sum_squares(int a, int b);
int main(void)
{
const int MIN = -1000; // lower limit to range
const int MAX = +1000; // upper limit to range
int start; // start of range
int stop; // end of range
double answer;
printf("This program computes the sum of the squares of "
"integers in a range.\nThe lower bound should not "
"be less than -1000 and\nthe upper bound should not "
"be more than +1000.\nEnter the limits (enter 0 for "
"both limits to quit):\nlower limit: ");
start = get_int();
printf("upper limit: ");
stop = get_int();
while (start !=0 || stop != 0)
{
if (bad_limits(start, stop, MIN, MAX))
printf("Please try again.\n");
else
{
answer = sum_squares(start, stop);
printf("The sum of the squares of the integers ");
printf("from %d to %d is %g\n", start, stop, answer);
}
printf("Enter the limits (enter 0 for both "
"limits to quit):\n");
printf("lower limit: ");
start = get_int();
printf("upper limit: ");
stop = get_int();
}
printf("Done.\n");
return 0;
}
int get_int(void)
{
int input;
char ch;
while (scanf("%d", &input) != 1)
{
while ((ch = getchar()) != '\n')
putchar(ch); // dispose of bad input
printf(" is not an integer.\nPlease enter an ");
printf("integer value, such as 25, -178, or 3: ");
}
return input;
}
double sum_squares(int a, int b)
{
double total = 0;
int i;
for (i = a; i <= b; i++)
total += i * i;
return total;
}
bool bad_limits(int begin, int end, int low, int high)
{
bool not_good = false;
if (begin > end)
{
printf("%d isn't smaller than %d.\n", begin, end);
not_good = true;
}
if (begin < low || end < low)
{
printf("Values must be %d or greater.\n", low);
not_good = true;
}
if (begin > high || end > high)
{
printf("Values must be %d or less.\n", high);
not_good = true;
}
return not_good;
}
还有这个return 啥意思，while (scanf("%d", &input) != 1) 这句 的具体含义是什么呢，我分不清楚scanf语句什么时候是返回值什么时候是 赋值
谢谢大家！！！
[解决办法]
return 向函数返回一个值
scanf的返回值是成功赋值后的值，就是input的值
[解决办法]
while (scanf("%d", &input) != 1)
这句话未来判断while循环条件，执行 scanf 函数。
通过scanf input如果正确接收了一个整型的值，，，，
scanf 函数返回1，那么while 循环不执行。
如果收到一个 字符型或其他，，不是整型，scanf返回0，，执行while循环，进行输入出错处理
关于scanf
[解决办法]
bool bad_limits(int begin, int end, int low, int high){bool not_good = false;//。。。。。。return not_good;//向该函数返回一个值，并且结束本次函数执行cout<<"Hello "<<endl;//本函数这句话不会输出}
