The scanf() function for age doesn't work

Question

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int age;

    printf("How old are you?");
    scanf("\d", &age);

    printf("\nYou are %d years old", age);

    return 0;
}

I think the ampersand in the scanf() function doesn't work. Is there a way to solve this?

Answer 1

You just wrote the wrong format of scanf() function. there should be %d instead of \d because for taking input inside scanf() you have to use %.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  int age;

  printf("How old are you?");
  scanf("%d", &age); // change **%** instead of **\**

  printf("\nYou are %d years old", age);

  return 0;
}
