For command doesn't work.

Hello everyone.

I have just started to C programming. I wrote some codes with if, else if, else and for. The part with for command doesn't work. Here is the code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()

{
    int a,b,c,x;
    printf("Enter a number:\n");
    a=2;
    scanf("%d",&b);
    if (b < 2)
    {
        c=a*b;
    }
    else if (b==2)
    {
        c=a*a+b*b;
    }
    else
    {
        c=a+b;
    }
    printf("%d\n",c);

    for (x=0;x<5;x++)
{
    printf("%d\n", &x);
}

    getchar();
    return 0;
}

I entered 2 as the input b and the result is that:

8
2293520
2293520
...

You are printing the address of x. Apparently x lives at 2293520 in your program. If you want to print x, then just print x.

Thanks a lot. It was really a great help. I didn't think I would also learn why I saw 2293530 instead of 35678 or 8 or any other numbers. It works now.
