#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
double Radius, Circumference, Area, Pi = 3.1416;
printf("Value of Radius:");
scanf("%lf",Radius);
Area = Pi * Radius * Radius;
Circumference = 2 * Pi * Radius;
printf("The area of the circle is %lf", Area);
printf("\nThe circumference of the circle is %lf", Circumference);
return 0;
}
I want to be able to get both circumference and area by just plugging in the radius.
The scanf
function needs a pointer.
scanf("%lf", &Radius);
You should have received a warning (enable warnings!) on compiling this:
test.c: In function ‘main’:
test.c:8:14: warning: format ‘%lf’ expects argument of type ‘double *’, but argument 2 has type ‘double’ [-Wformat=]
scanf("%lf",Radius);
~~^
You should also check the return value of scanf
to ensure it actually read the correct number of values.
