    Friends please review the code (help with the erro)

    Here is my code
    Code:
    /* A simple C program that takes
    * two values and invoke a function with
    * pass by value */
    
    
    # include <stdio.h>
    # include <stdlib.h>
    
    
    int main() {
    system("cls");
    
    
    //Prompting user to enter two numbers
    int num1, num2, sum;
    printf("User enter first number to be added: ");
    
    
    //Storing first number in num1
    scanf("%d", num1);
    
    
    
    
    printf("User enter second number to be added: ");
    scanf("%d", num2);
    
    
    sum  = 0;
    
    
    sum = add_Func(num1, num2, sum);
    
    
    printf("User added answer is %d", sum);
    
    
    return 0;
    }
    
    
    int add_Func(int x, int y, int &sum) {
    printf("User adding %d and %d", x, y);
    
    
    sum = x + y;
    
    
    return sum;
    }
    Error is shown in Line 31

    Yes, it means you forgot the &var in all your scanf calls
    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.

    You also have to add declaration of add_Func before you call it
    Code:
    /* A simple C program that takes
    * two values and invoke a function with
    * pass by value */
    
    
    # include <stdio.h>
    # include <stdlib.h>
    
    //Function declaration
    int add_Func(int x, int y, int &sum);
        
    
    int main() {
    
        //main code skipped
        return 0;
    }
    
    //function definition
    int add_Func(int x, int y, int &sum) {
        //body skipped
    }
    Thus compiler will be able to detect that you are calling your function with wrong parameters - reference is C++ feature not available in C (instead of fixing problem with sum parameter - you can completely remove it since the value will be returned)
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    I don't think the OP even knows about a C++ reference. I think he used a '&' when he meant to use a '*'.

    His code suggests he is very much a beginner, as most of the posters here.
