Thread: C Programming: Write a statement that reads a floating point (real) value...

...from standard input into...? Write a statement that reads a floating point (real) value from standard input into temperature. Assume that temperature. has already been declared as an double variable.

So far, I wrote:

scanf("%f", &temperature);

but it's not right according to my online homework. The correction says that the %f part is not right. I tried %d and it didn't work either. Any clues?

Thanks.

u need %lf for double and a space between the double quote and your placeholder when working with scanf.

scanf(" %lf", &temperature);

i have the same problem for my hw.
