behevior of sscan function

[kouty]

I dont understand the appearent discrepency in the treatment of the variabe x, y, and z.
Why y isn't treated as x and z?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
    char result[100] = "Philippe Dupont 30";
    char x[50];
    char y[50];
    int z;
    /*We use sscanf to give a value to the
    three variables x, y and z. the two first are strings 
    and don't need &.*/
    sscanf(result, "%s%s%d", x, y, &z);
    /*Printing the value of the variables works fine.*/
    printf("%s\n", x);
    printf("%s\n", y);
    printf("%d\n", z);

    /*But when I want to print a string in which the variables are, the variable y output
    is an address, not as for x and z*/
    printf("My first name is %s \n my last name is %d \n and I am %d years old\n", x, y, z);

    return 0;
}

/*OUTPUT:
Philippe
Dupont
30
My first name is Philippe
my last name is -478321712
and I am 30 years old

In line 21, you are printing the string 'y' as an integer (%d). Change it to %s as follows

printf("My first name is %s \n my last name is %s \n and I am %d years old\n", x, y, z);

Stupid error %d instead of %s
