I declared it as int but it shows up as an char...

[XR3D403]

First of all, hello I'm new here.

Second, well I'm new to C programming, and I wrote this simple code.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{
   int a, b;
   printf("enter value one: ");
   scanf("%d", &a);

   printf("enter a second value: ");
   scanf("%d", &b);

   if (a < b)
      printf("%d is less than %b", a, b);
   else
      printf("%d is greater than %b", a, b);
   return 0;
}

I know it's kind of incomplete, but I just wanted to see if it worked or not.

Ok, the compiler shows no errors or such, but when I run the executable, it goes like this:

enter value one: 3
enter a second value: 5
3 is less than b

As you can see, the second value I declared it as an integer and also used %d, not %c, so why is "3 is less than b" printed instead of 3 is less than 5?

Thanks for your help and time.

>> printf("%d is less than %b", a, b);

Try,

printf("%d is less than %d", a, b);

I hope you understand what means %d, %s and so one.
It's for formatted outputs, %d means to print an Integer, %s means to print an String (array of chars).

For a full list, you can try looking at google.

Yes I know that, thanks Vber.
