You must pass the correct types to printf if you want it to do something sensible. Each time you used "%f", which means "I am about to pass a float or a double", but you passed a mixture of other things. If you're a beginner C programmer then I'd suggest that you turn on some more compiler warnings, which will give about this: gcc -pedantic -ansi -W -Wall file.c Also, you might want to consult the C FAQ at: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html and try reading the newsgroup comp.lang.c.
