That's the templated version, which is safer because it checks at 
compile time (important distinction) that the arguments and the format 
specifiers do match.

Another option is to use a space character, which reads and skips any 
number of any whitespace character. I have written something about that 
here:

And this one talks about readln, which may be more suitable in some cases:

And there is formattedRead:

There is never a silly question. If a question came up, it is as 
legitimate as it gets.

And welcome to programming! :)
