This compliant solution guarantees that a correct value in the range of mytypedef_t is read, or an error condition is detected, assuming the value of MYTYPEDEF_MAX is correct as the largest value representable by mytypedef_t: We use the strtoumax function instead of scanf, as it provides enhanced error checking functionality. The fgets function is used to read input from stdin.
