Thread: Beginner practicing

This is an example of an error that I get on most code that I just don't understand.

Here's the code:

Code:

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


float convert (float f);


int main()
{
    float temp_f;
    float temp_c;


    printf("What is the temperature in fahrenheit: ");
    scanf("%.2f", &float temp_f);


    printf("The temperature in fahrenheit is %.2f", temp_f);
    return 0;
}

The error is: error: expected expression before 'float'.

As mentioned above I get this alot and originally I didn't have the & in the scanf function, which I thought was the problem, but it gave me the same error even after adding it. Any ideas? (I am using Code::Blocks ver. 20.03)
