Thread: Runtime Error R6002 - floating point support not loaded

Hello, everyone. I wrote a program that use a struct to represent an athlete. The program allocates memory for an array of 5 Athletes, and, soon after I enter the fourth data (height) for the first athlete, I get the message "runtime Error R6002 - floating point support not loaded". The program doesn't reach the line where __LINE__ would be printed. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Code:

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

typedef struct athlete {
    char name[ 100 ];
    char sport[ 100 ];
    double height;
    int age;
} Athlete;

void sort_array_of_athletes_in_place( Athlete **array );

int main( void )
{
    Athlete *athleteArray = malloc( 5 * sizeof( Athlete ) );
    unsigned int i = 0;
    unsigned int j;
    
    while ( i < 5 )
    {
        printf( "Enter the name of athlete %d: ", ( i + 1 ) );
        fgets( athleteArray[ i ].name, 100, stdin );
        fflush( stdin );
        
        j = 0;
        
        while ( *( athleteArray[ i ].name + j ) != '\0' )
        {
            ++j;
        }
        
        *( athleteArray[ i ].name + j - 1 ) = '\0';
        
        printf( "Enter the sport of athlete %d: ", ( i + 1 ) );
        fgets( athleteArray[ i ].sport, 100, stdin );
        fflush( stdin );
        
        j = 0;
        
        while ( *( athleteArray[ i ].sport + j ) != '\0' )
        {
            ++j;
        }
        
        *( athleteArray[ i ].sport + j - 1 ) = '\0';
        
        printf( "Enter the age of athlete %d: ", ( i + 1 ) );
        scanf( "%d", &athleteArray[ i ].age );
        fflush( stdin );
        
        printf( "Enter the height of athlete %d: ", ( i + 1 ) );
        scanf( "%lf", &athleteArray[ i ].height );
        fflush( stdin );
        
        //DEBUG:
        printf( "Line %d.\n", __LINE__ );
        //ENDDEBUG
        
        putchar( '\n' );
        
        ++i;
    }
    
    sort_array_of_athletes_in_place( &athleteArray );
    
    printf( "Athletes by name, from the oldest to the youngest:\n" );
    
    i = 0;
    
    while ( i < 5 )
    {
        printf( "%s\n", athleteArray[ i ].name );
        
        ++i;
    }
}

void sort_array_of_athletes_in_place( Athlete **array )
{
    Athlete temp;
    unsigned int i;
    unsigned int j;
    
    for ( i = 0 ; i < 4 ; ++i )
    {
        for ( j = 0 ; j < 4 ; ++j )
        {
            if ( ( *array[ j ] ).age < ( *array[ j + 1 ] ).age )
            {
                temp = *array[ j ];
                *array[ j ] = *array[ j + 1 ];
                *array[ j + 1 ] = temp;
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks. I'm using Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.40219.01 for 80x86.

i'm using the command-line, with the /MT option.

This page from MSDN doesn't say the solution is through an option: C Run-Time Error R6002

Hi, the solution was to initialize each floating-point variable before reading it from the keyboard.

Yeah, I don't know much about that...but the problem was solved.
