The formatting code that is used when reading an unsigned short with 
scanf is %hu. When printing an unsigned short with printf you should use 
%u. The foregoing can best be exemplified with the following short program:


#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
   unsigned short k, j;

   printf("Enter two numbers");
   scanf("%hu", &k);
   scanf("%hu", &j);
   printf("\n\n");
   printf("%u\n%u", k, j);
   return 0;
}
