Thread: Code does not jump to next printf (Coding Noobie)

I am writing a simple calculator that doubles the amount of cents that are inputted. However I am having a little bit of trouble because the first input if not jumping to the the next "printf" when I press enter. The solution is probably simple but I have no idea. Thanks!

In the future, please post your actual code in code tags, not a screen shot of your code.

Code:

    scanf("%d%",&pen);

Get rid of that extra % after "%d" in each of your "scanf()" calls.

Thank you very much!

You're welcome. As a courtesy, I rewrote your program exactly as you had it (filling in the missing code) and compiled it. This is the code I compiled, and the compiler warnings I got:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int pen, nick, dim, quart, total;

    printf("Hawk jents by Me\n");
    printf("\nEnter number of Pennies (0-100): ");
    scanf("%d%",&pen);
    printf("\nEnter number of Nickels (0-20): ");
    scanf("%d%",&nick);
    printf("\nEnter number of Dimes (0-10): ");
    scanf("%d%",&dim);
    printf("\nEnter number of Quarters (0-4): ");
    scanf("%d%",&quart);
    total = ((pen * 1) + (nick * 5) + (dim * 10) + (quart * 25) ) * 2;
    printf("\n\nTotal Hawk Jents = %d",total);
    printf("\n\nThanks for using Hawk Jents Calculator!");

    return 0;
}

These warnings should have been a clue for you to locate where the problem might have been. If your compiler didn't mention any warnings, then you need to increase your compiler warnings.

Also, just a minor comment: Variable names should clearly state their purpose. You came close, but I would recommend not truncating words that are already short (e.g. "penny", "nickel", "dime", "quarter").

Otherwise, good work!
