Thread: Noob with super quick question.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
	
	int age1, age2, age3, average;
	age1 = age2 = 4;
	
	printf("Enter your age.\n");
	scanf("%d\n", &age1);
	
	average = (age1 + age2 + age3) / 3;
	printf("Group average age: %d\n", average);
	
	
	return 0;
}

Ok, in this program, I’m ABSOLUTELY Sure you guys know what I’m trying to do here. Every once in a while though, it seems my compiler is throwing away one of the variables in my equation. When I put 4 as input, it gives 2 as output. Seems like it’s dropping one of the age variables. I’m using cpp compiler on my iPhone as I’m stuck without a computer for a couple months while I save up as my old pc’s mobo went out (RIP, lol). Anyways I ALWAYS try my best to research my issues and only ask for help if I really can’t find it anywhere else. If I did something stupid please be easy on me. I did try to make sure I wasn’t wasting any bodies time, but I’m still pretty brand new at this. Thanks.

You don't seem to have read in the values for age2 and age3. You assigned them to age1 before giving them initial values, which is wrong.
