Got problems in scanf() program
Hi, me agin.
Here is my program, my first name gets mixed up when the program prints it out, why?
Code:
/* This is a sample program that asks users for some basics data and
prints it on screen in order to show what was entered */
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
//Set up the variables that scanf will fill
char firstInitial;
char lastInitial;
int age;
int favorite_number;
printf("What is your first name?\n");
scanf(" %s", &firstInitial);
printf("What is your last name?\n");
scanf(" %s", &lastInitial);
printf("How old are you?\n");
scanf(" %d", &age);
printf("What is your favorite number (integer only)?\n");
scanf(" %d", &favorite_number);
printf("\nYour intitials are %s.%s. and you are %d years old", &firstInitial, &lastInitial, age);
printf("\nYour favorite number is %d.\n\n", favorite_number);
return 0;
}
Also, the book said that you dont need to put & at variables when you use %s(strings) in scanf, but it looks like you do have to put & all the time.
