primes program need some help

Okay i got this primes program working. I have the three files working together to give me a program that is suppose to print how many primes i ask for. THe problem i am having it never stops printing to the screen. If i say 2 to 3000.... it doesnt matter program just prints and prints to screen. I know the problem is with my counter, but where did i go wrong.

Code:

---

Primes.h file

 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

 

int is_prime( int n );

 

 

Is_prime.c file

 

#include "primes.h"

 

int is_prime( int n )

{

      int k, limit;

 

      if (n == 2)

            return 1;

      if (n % 2 == 0)

            return 0;

      limit = n / 2;

      for (k = 3; k <= limit; k += 2)

            if (n % k == 0)

                  return 0;

      return 1;

}

 

Prime.c file

 

#include "primes.h"

int main(void)

{

      int i = 2, n, count = 0;

 

      printf("How many prime number do you want to see? ");

      scanf("d", &n );

    while (1) {

                  if(is_prime( i ) ){

                        count++;

                        printf("%3d: %d \n", count, i);

                  }

                  i++;

                  if( count == n ) break;

            }

return 0;

}

thanks in advance for your help

In fucntion main, the line :

Code:

---

      scanf("d", &n );

---

is missing %. should be like that :

Code:

---

      scanf("%d", &n );

---

avoid while(1) instead

Code:

---

while (count < n) {

                  if(is_prime( i ) ){

                        count++;

                        printf("%3d: %d \n", count, i);

                  }
                  i++;
}
