    can't capture the input

    I enter the value , but the program doesn't capture the value
    what's the problem ?

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    
    
    struct book
    {
    	float fPrice;
    	int iNumPages;
    	int iYear;
    };
    
    
    void get_details( float* , int*, int* );
    int main()
    {
    	struct book sMybook = { 25.50 , 690 , 2005};
    	struct book sHerbook;
    
    
    	float fdiff;
    	float x;
    	int y, z;
    
    
    	
    	get_details( &x ,&y ,&z);
    
    
    	x=sHerbook.fPrice;
    	y=sHerbook.iNumPages;
    	z=sHerbook.iYear;
    
    
    	printf("My book :\n");
    	printf("%.2f\t%d\t%d\n", sMybook.fPrice, sMybook.iNumPages, sMybook.iYear );
    
    
    	printf("Her book :\n");
    	printf("%.2f\t%d\t%d\n", sHerbook.fPrice, sHerbook.iNumPages, sHerbook.iYear);
    
    
    	fdiff = sMybook.fPrice - sHerbook.fPrice; 
    	printf("the difference in price is %.4f\n", fdiff );
    
    
    
    
    
    
    	if (sMybook.iYear > sHerbook.iYear )
    		printf("Mine is greatest ");
    	else 
    		printf("Her's is greatest");
    
    
    	return 0;
    }
    
    
    void get_details( float*a , int*b , int*c ) 
    {
    	printf("enter book price:\n");
    	scanf("%f", a);
    	printf("Enter number of pages:\n");
    	scanf("%d", b);
    	printf("Enter year:\n");
    	scanf("%d", c );
    }

    Perhaps you meant
    sHerbook.fPrice = x;

    Perhaps you could also do
    get_details( &sHerbook.fPrice ,&sHerbook.iNumPages ,&sHerbook.iYear);
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
