When Scaning Float Value in Structure which Produce Error!!!!

[keval_hack]

hi,

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

struct cricket
{
char name[10];
char teamname[10];
float batavg;
}c1[5];

void main()
{
int i,j;
clrscr();


for(i=0;i<2;i++)
{
printf("Enter name:");
scanf("%s",c1[i].name);

printf("Enter Team Name:");
scanf("%s",c1[i].teamname);

printf("Enter Batting avg:");
scanf("%f",&c1[i].batavg);
}
for(i=0;i<2;i++)
{
printf("%s\n",c1[i].name);
printf("%s\n",c1[i].teamname);
printf("%f\n",c1[i].batavg);

}
getch();
}

When i running the above program which gives me following Error when scaning float value!

Enter name:keval
Enter Team Name:kkk
Enter Batting avg: scanf : floating point formats not linked
Abnormal program termination

But when i change float to int type it works fine but not with float Why?????
Pls some one help me to solve this error!thanks...

U using older borland compiler may be ..
It worked totally fine @ me ..
I compiled in Dev-C++ it worked fine but not working in borland ..

I m using Borland C++ Compiler Versiuon 3.0

Check with Dev-C++ .. Worked fine for me ..

floating point constant cannot be stored in structure through scanf,so write in the following way
float x;
scanf("%f",&x);
c1[i]-->batavg=x;

[deceptikon]

floating point constant cannot be stored in structure through scanf

Sorry, but that's incorrect.

By default the Borland compilers don't support floating point formatting with scanf. There should be an option to enable it. Here are some details:

this solution is not efficient.
