Thread: C program compile but not doing the calculations

Hello all,
I wrote a C program and I compile with Miracle C - a C compiler software, the program was compiled successfully but does not do any calculations under it. All the calculations I put there was not done, I included math.h and stdio.h, is there anything I am doing wrong??

Below is the program:

Code:

/* program to calculate the geometric and arithmetric average of a set of numbers*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
main()
{
   float y, x, xavg, xavg1, temp=1.0, sum=0.0;
   int count=1, n;
   printf ("\nEnter the total items to calculate\n");
   scanf ("%d", &n);
   while (count<=n)
     {
     printf ("\nEnter x\n");
     scanf ("%f", &x);
     temp*=x;
     sum+=x;
     ++count;
     };
   y = 1/n;
   xavg= pow(temp, y);
   xavg1= sum/n;
   printf ("\nThe geometric average is %f\n", &xavg);
   printf ("\nThe arithmetric average is %f\n", &xavg1);
}

I need help urgently!!!!!

Remove the '&' in printf statement for the variables

Thank you so much, it works.

But i want to calculate x^y(x raise to power y) and dont how to write the statement in C, anyone here to help?

Code:

xavg= pow(temp, y);

So apply that knowledge to what you are trying to do.

I did that but I am not getting the correct answer, I use my calculator and I got a different answer. No matter the values I entered I got 1.00 as answer or maybe I am doing something wrong?

FYI

#include <math.h>

double pow(double x, double y);

float powf(float x, float y);

long double powl(long double x, long double y);


So try to change code as per your requirement.
