Thread: structure giving weird output

Hello there,


I have written a structure as an example and I am having trouble compiling it... I don't see what is wrong with it I think it has to do with some other thing but I am not sure...

The code is as follows:

Code:

/*
 * test1.c
 *
 *  Created on: Feb 9, 2010
 *      Author
 */

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

int main(void) {

	struct employee {
		char name[30];
		char address[100];
		int age;
		float salary;
	} emp1;



	printf("Enter the name of the employee: ");
	scanf("%s", emp1.name);
	printf("Enter the address of the employee: ");
	scanf("%s", emp1.address);
	printf("Enter the age of the employee: ");
	scanf("%d", &emp1.age);
	printf("Enter the salary of the employee: ");
	scanf("%f", &emp1.salary);



	printf("the age of emp1 is: %s\n", emp1.name);
	printf("the age of emp1 is: %s\n", emp1.address);
	printf("the age of emp1 is: %d\n", emp1.age);
	printf("the salary of emp1 is: %f\n", emp1.salary);




	return 0;
}

and I get this as an output:


Enter the name of the employee: Enter the address of the employee: Enter the age of the employee: Enter the salary of the employee: the age of emp1 is: ץ0wM
the age of emp1 is: '
the age of emp1 is: 77
the salary of emp1 is: 0.000000


Please can anyone help me? is there something wrong with the code?
