I just completed my first C program for my C class and I wanted to run it at
home so I got DICE C. Well my program was to find the Volume of a cylinder
and since floating point isn't supported I couldn't do it on DICE. So I got
PDC and now it seems that scanf doesn't work. Here is my program, please tell
me if I'm doing something wrong:
#include <stdio.h>
#define PI 3.1419
float Radius, Height, Volume; /* declares variables used */
main()
{
printf("\n This is a program that will compute the volume of a cylinder. ");
printf("\n Please enter the radius: "); /* prompt for radius */
scanf("%f", &Radius);
printf(" Now please enter the height: "); /* prompt for Height */
scanf("%f", &Height);
Volume = Radius * Height * PI;
printf("\n The volume is %f . \n", Volume);
}
All the program does is print out the print commands. Help please."F. Michael Theilig" <GKZ117@uriacc.uri.edu> (04/14/91)

The unregistered version doesn't do floats. It should give you an error. By the way, is there any reason why you are making these vars global? [Rest or progam deleted for brevity sake.] -------- F.
