Thread: can you tell me why2?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>

struct student
{
float	score;
};
main()
{
	struct  student  *p;

	p=(struct student *)malloc(sizeof(struct student));
	scanf("%f",&(p->score));
        /* or instead of "scanf("%f",&(*p).score);" */
	printf("%f\n",(*p).score);
}

why once i run the programme
It will display :
scanf : floating point formats not linked
Abnormal program termination


can you tell me why ???waiting............

I too, come across the same problem earlier, In some older compliers this problem may arise.
It can be overcome by intialising the Floating Point emulator in your code as:

extern void _floatconvert( );
#pragma extref _floatconvert
