help needed in floating point

Expand Post »

I have 2 problems in C regarding floating point, please help :

Q1
Output of the following code- C.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
main()
{
  float a=0.7;
  if(a<0.7)
   printf("C");
  else 
   printf("C++);
}
 
main()
{
  float a=0.7;
  if(a<0.7)
   printf("C");
  else 
   printf("C++);
}

But if we change the if condition from a<0.7 to a<0.7f we get output- C++.

Q2
The following code gives runtime error- Floating point formats not linked. When does this error occur in a program.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
main()
{
   struct emp
   {
   char name[20];
   float sal;
   };
   struct emp e[10];
   int i;
   for(i=0;i<=9;i++)
   scanf("%s %f",e[i]name,&e[i].sal);
}
main()
{
   struct emp
   {
   char name[20];
   float sal;
   };
   struct emp e[10];
   int i;
   for(i=0;i<=9;i++)
   scanf("%s %f",e[i]name,&e[i].sal);
}

Re: help needed in floating point

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include <stdio.h>
 
#define BUFSZ 255
 
struct lala
{
    char         name[BUFSZ];
    unsigned   age;                  // for example :-)
} student[10];
 
int main(void)
{
       for(int i=0; i < 10; i++)
           scanf("%s %d", &student[i].name, &student[i].age);
 
           // Using scanf() for reading strings is in general not a good idea.
           // Look at fgets(). It is more precise and can prevent overflows.
 
   return 0;
}
#include <stdio.h>

#define BUFSZ 255

struct lala
{
    char         name[BUFSZ];
    unsigned   age;                  // for example :-)
} student[10];

int main(void)
{
       for(int i=0; i < 10; i++)
           scanf("%s %d", &student[i].name, &student[i].age);

           // Using scanf() for reading strings is in general not a good idea.

   return 0;

Re: help needed in floating point

No its not a homework, i found these questions in an indian author book- "Test your C skills" by Yashwant Kanitker. Answers were given but not reasons for that answers.
