    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
     main ()
    
    {
          int total; 
          int a,b;
        
        printf("enter number:" ,&a);
        scanf("%d");
        printf("enter 2nd number:" ,&b);
        scanf("%d");
       
        
        total = a + b;
    
         printf(" the number is %d " ,total );
         
    getchar();
    return 0;
    }

    You know what they say about horseshoes and handgrenades??? Well it usually won't apply with C (even worse: sometimes it does).

    But good try. You have something backward, I don't know what you were thinking but this is what should be:
    Code:
       printf("enter number:");
       scanf("%d",&a);
       printf("enter 2nd number:");
       scanf("%d",&b);
    See the difference?
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
