Thread: Dev C: invalid operand to binary & in scanf statement

Hi i am using Dev C/C++.
I have used a very simple program

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

Code:

int main()
{
    int  basic_salary , allowance , rent , gross;
     scanf( "%d " & basic_salary);
    allowance = 0.4*basic_salary;
    rent = 0.2*allowance;
    gross = basic_salary - allowance- rent;
    printf("The gross salary is %d",gross);
    getch();
   return 0 ;
}

I have stored this file in under .C extension..I receive error in scanf as
invalid operands to binary &
