       4 - 7                     5% of each Bushel
       7 and above               7% of total amount

this is the program i created i hope someone can help me, Thank you :)

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
double a;
main()
{
      printf("\n\n\n\t\tBushels of Wine Brewery Co..");
      printf("\n\n\tYou can have discounts when you order bushels of wine");
      printf("\n\n\tdepending on the amount you want.");
      printf("\n\n\t\tNumber of Bushels          Discount");
      printf("\n\t\t1 to 3                        none");
      printf("\n\t\t4 to 6                        5 percent each bushel");
      printf("\n\t\t7 and above                   7 percent of total bushels");
      printf("\n\n\tEnter desiired amount of Bushels of wine:\t");
      scanf("%lf",a);
      if(a<=3)
                    
                    printf("No discount");
      else if(a>3<7)
           
                    printf("You get 5% discount on each bushels");
      else
           {
                    printf("You get 7% discount on the total amount of the bushels");
                    }
      printf("Thank you for buying at us. Have a nice day.");
      getch();
}

scanf("%lf",a);

You're missing the address-of operator:

scanf("%lf", &a);

[kooletz]

I already change scanf("%lf",a); to scanf("%i",a);
but same error occured

[Narue]

I already change scanf("%lf",a); to scanf("%i",a);

Are you reading impaired? The format specifier is correct for reading into a double, but it requires a pointer. Most of the time this means you need to pass the address of your variable. The error you're getting occurs because the value of a is being used as an address, which is invalid, and causing an access violation.

Also: if(a>3<7) is bogus. Did a warning about it show up when you compiled?
