I define a variable as
float num1;
I try to use a scanf to read it
scanf("%f", num1);
I get some (what I think is a crazy response) statement expects a float, argument is a double
I am sure I must be doing something wrong because I also get this error
statement expects an int *, but argument is a int
I'm running Ubuntu Linux.
What am I doing wrong?
TYVM!!
Jump to Postscanf() expects the argument to be a pointer, and you passed just a float. Add the & to make num1 a pointer, like this:
scanf("%f", &num1);
scanf() expects the argument to be a pointer, and you passed just a float. Add the & to make num1 a pointer, like this: scanf("%f", &num1);
the operator & indicates the direction of the variable.
