Question
sir,

could u please tell me the method to declare a float type variable in a structure and read the values and print them in the main.

the program is giving me an error 1.e
scanf:floating point format link error
Abnormal program termination
the program is as follows:-
main()
{struct complex
{ float x;
float y;
};
struct complex *ptr;
printf("Enter the numbers
");
scanf("%f%f",(*ptr).x,(*ptr).y));
printf("x=%f  y=%f",ptr->x,ptr->y);
}

Answer
Here is the corrected code:
main()
{
       struct complex
       {
               float x;
               float y;
       };
       struct complex *ptr = (struct complex *) malloc(1 * sizeof(struct complex));;

       printf("Enter the numbers => ");
       scanf("%f%f", &((*ptr).x), &((*ptr).y));
       printf("x=%f  y=%f",ptr->x,ptr->y);
}
