Thread: illegal operation error

hmm for some reason this program is causing an illegal operation

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

      char name;

      printf( "What is your name " );
      scanf( "%s", &name );
      printf( "Welcome %s", &name );
      getch( );

      return 0;

}

BTW.. heh i been here before.. just... got in to some trouble.. and lost all in c now i have to start from squer one

>>scanf( "%s", &name );

Or I suppose if you really want to use scanf(), use:
char name[100];
and
scanf( "%s", name );

ahh yes.. i remember now.. thanx.. i forgot to add that part =)
