Help with easy beginner program

[aosterminal]

Hi, I just made a dumb program to test my skills. My options aren't registering correctly, can anyone spot a mistake in my code? Thank you!

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int x;
    printf("This is my first real program. Please select an option below: \n");
    printf("1. Enter age\n");
    printf("2. Enter heigt\n");
    printf("3. Enter birth year\n");
    printf("4. Enter salary\n");
    scanf("&d",&x);
    if(x == 1)
    {
        printf("Please enter your age: \n");
    }
    else if(x == 2)
    {
        printf("Please enter your height: \n");
    }
    else if(x == 3)
    {
        printf("Please enter your birth year: \n");
    }
    else if(x == 4)
    {
        printf("Please enter your salary: \n");
    }
    else printf("Invalid option! Try again. \n");
    return(0);
}

Also, why is there so many lines of space beneath my code I posted?!

What exactly is the problem you are seeing?

I didn't point that out, I'm sorry. It goes straight to "Invalid option! Try again."

If I type "1" I want it to printf the first statement and for the next three options as well...

scanf("&d",&x);

I think you mean to use "%d" in lieu of "&d"

[aosterminal]

scanf("&d",&x);

I think you mean to use "%d" in lieu of "&d"

Oh! Of course, thank you! :3

Simple troubleshooting technique - put a simple "printf()" statement after your "scanf()" statement to see what the variable holds, so you can help isolate where the problem is occurring.

I get that problem with Google Chrome - I just hit the "to plain text" button.

Ah okay, thank you
