Thread: Calculator Help!

I made a simple adding calculator in C and when I use it the sum is off by like 500000. Here is the code:

Code:

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

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int a,b,sum;
  printf ("please type two numbers:\n");
  sum=a+b;
  scanf ("%d,%d",&a,&b);
  printf ("sum=%d",sum);
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}

BTW:Im using dev-c++.

Shouldn't you call scanf before you sum up your values? Oh, and go back and read the Announcements, and then fix your post and all future posts.

Quzah.

fixed code :

Code:

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

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int a,b,sum;
  printf ("please type two numbers:\n");
  scanf ("%d%d",&a,&b);
  sum = a + b;
  printf ("sum=%d \n\n",sum);
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}

as quzah said , you should call scanf before summing your values. You've also seperated the two %d's in scanf with a comma.
