need some c help

Hey guys,

I'm having some problems with a c program I wrote:

#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h>

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { double A,B,to,t,tau,vct;

printf("enter value for A "); scanf("%lf",&A);

printf("enter a value for B "); scanf("%lf",&B);

printf("enter a value for to "); scanf("%lf",&to);

printf("enter a value for tau "); scanf("%lf",&tau);

printf("enter a value for vct "); scanf("%lf",&vct);

t=-tau*log(vct-A/B)+to; printf("%lf",&t); return 0; }

I'm getting an error: "file.c:26: warning: format ‘%lf’ expects type ‘double’, but argument 2 has type ‘double *’

Not sure what I did wrong. Any help will be appreciated.

In the scanf's you pass it the reference (actually you pass a pointer to the reference in C)--this is what & does--so it can modify the variable to what the user inputs.

The printf function takes just a variable--a copy of its value--not a pointer to it since it does not need to modify it. Change "printf("%lf",&t);" to "printf("%lf",t);"

You're referencing t. &t is a pointer to double, but printf is expecting a double.
