Unable to accept input

Hell all, I have never experienced this issue before. I am unable to accept input for

Code:

---

divisor

---

in the following code block:

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
void divide(int dividend, int divisor, int *quotient, int *remainder)
{
  *quotient = dividend / divisor;
  *remainder = dividend % divisor;
}

int main()
{
  double dividend, divisor, quotient = 0;
  int remainder = 0;
  printf("Enter Dividend: ");
  scanf("&d", &dividend);
  printf("Enter Divisor:");
  scanf("&d", &divisor);

}

---

I have tried to but a blank space and a "\n" before %d on the divisor input but to no avail. This is very odd. The terminal accepts the value for dividend, prints "Enter divisor: " and just terminates like so:

Code:

---

Enter Dividend: 6
Enter Divisor:
C:\cProg>

---

Any help appreciated.

Code:

---

scanf("&d", &dividend);

---

You likely wanted

Code:

---

scanf("%d", &dividend);

---

Notice I used "%d" instead of "&d".

On top of that, your divide() function takes ints and int pointers, however, in main() they are declared as doubles, except for the int reminder.

You need to be consistent.

My God after countless hours of coding, this is the biggest brain freeze I have experienced since...thank you kind sir.

Compiling with warnings enabled would have told you something was wrong from the start, without the "hours of coding".

Code:

---

$ cat foo.c
#include<stdio.h>
void divide(int dividend, int divisor, int *quotient, int *remainder)
{
  *quotient = dividend / divisor;
  *remainder = dividend % divisor;
}

int main()
{
  double dividend, divisor, quotient = 0;
  int remainder = 0;
  printf("Enter Dividend: ");
  scanf("&d", &dividend);
  printf("Enter Divisor:");
  scanf("&d", &divisor);

}
$ gcc -Wall foo.c
foo.c: In function ‘main’:
foo.c:13:9: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]
  scanf("&d", &dividend);
        ^
foo.c:15:9: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]
  scanf("&d", &divisor);
        ^

Shoudn't be %f instead of %d?

Nope, everything should be an int here, especially since % is used.
