can you tell me why2?

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>

struct student
{
float        score;
};
main()
{
        struct  student  *p;

        p=(struct student *)malloc(sizeof(struct student));
        scanf("%f",&(p->score));
        /* or instead of "scanf("%f",&(*p).score);" */
        printf("%f\n",(*p).score);
}

---

why once i run the programme
It will display :
scanf : floating point formats not linked
Abnormal program termination


can you tell me why ???waiting............

1) Don't use malloc.h. Use stdlib.h.
2) Don't cast the return of malloc.
3) Your compiler apparently doesn't support floating point numbers. Get a new one.

Quzah.

This?

I too, come across the same problem earlier, In some older compliers this problem may arise.
It can be overcome by intialising the Floating Point emulator in your code as:

extern void _floatconvert( );
#pragma extref _floatconvert

Here's a tip - paste error messages into google.
