Thread: whats wrong with this simple calculator

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){
    int fnumber,snumber;
    printf("enter fnumber=");
    scanf("%d",&fnumber);
    printf("enter snumber=");
    scanf("&d",&snumber);
    printf("total=%d",fnumber+snumber);
    return 0;
}

when i enter a fnumber, it proceeds immediately to total without asking for snumber.

scanf() typo '&'.

Turn on warnings, and turn up to the highest level. The compiler would show you the error.

Look more closely at your second scanf format.
Also, you should really write a newline at the end of a line of output.

Thanks for this!
