Thread: C Structure

I have a C-program based on Structure as shown below;
but when I try to run It ;it is accepting "value for page" but
at time of accepting "value for price" it is giving me an error as:
"scanf: floating point not linked. Abnormal program termination"
what should I do to salve this problem ?

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
struct book
{
int page;
float price;    
}b[3];
void main()
{
clrscr();
printf("\nEnter pages & prices:\n");
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
scanf("%d",&b[i].page);
scanf("%f",&b[i].price);
printf("\npages=%d    price=%f\n",b[i].page,b[i].price);
}
}

There is no end to your structure, you are missing the terminating brace. It should be this:

Code:

struct book
{
int page;
float price;
int b[3];  // this i am guessing is an int type as you used %d to declare it
};           // you need this at the end of a struct

Remember to place the temintating brace with semi-colon on a new line.
Never mix it in with data members like in your post - this can lead to problems!

he is declaring an array of structures there.

And , I suggeest you to use int main() and return at the end of your program. You may want to
have a look

This is correct. It's just the sytax for declaring objects of the struct immediately.

Thanks For Quick reply...

I am still not getting o/p
Is there any other way to overcome this problem
