Discussion Forum : Structures, Unions, Enums - Point Out Errors (Q.No. 5)
5.
Point out the error in the program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
struct emp
{
char name[20];
float sal;
};
struct emp e[10];
int i;
for(i=0; i<=9; i++)
scanf("%s %f", e[i].name, &e[i].sal);
return 0;
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
At run time it will show an error then program will be terminated.
Sample output: Turbo C (Windows)
c:\>myprogram
Sample

Some compilers for small machines, including Turbo C (and Ritchie's original PDP-11 compiler), leave out floating point support if it looks like it will not be needed. In particular, the non-floating-point versions of printf and scanf save space by not including code to handle %e, %f, and %g. It happens that Turbo C's heuristics for determining whether the program uses floating point are insufficient, and the programmer must sometimes insert an extra, explicit call to a floating-point library routine to force loading of floating-point support.

The program runs fine when float is changed to int, can't get whats the problem with float.
Waiting for an answer.

Hi all,
What does "Floating point formats not linked, abnormal program termination mean" ?
Does it mean the usage of data type is being decided by the compiler rather than the user?
