Thread: scanf not working

Code:

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


 
 
int main()
{
double loop_counter = 2, PWR = 0, result = 0, new_counter = 2; 
printf("enter an interger:\n ");
scanf("%f", &PWR);
result = pow(new_counter, PWR);
printf("%f\n", result);
system("pause");
return 0;
 
 
 
 
 
 
}

No matter what value i put in there, it's always 0.

When using scanf() the "%f" format specifier is used for a float, not a double. You'll need to read the documentation and select the proper format specifier for your double.
