Heelpp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm a beginner so need some help ..

I made a program for addition of two intergers ...

but instead of the real value like 2+2=4
i get 2+2=2268633 something ...

i made a few more basic ones and im facing the same problem ,,,
is something wrong with my compiler ? or is it my mistake

btw im writing the code here

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>


int main(void)
{
int a;
int b;
int c;
printf("Enter two numbers:");

scanf("%d", &a);
scanf("%d", &b);

c = a + b;

printf("The addition is %d" , &c);

getch();

}

like for 2+2 i get 2293564
instead of 4
please help people !

> printf("The addition is %d" , &c);
Try just


Also, please use [code][/code] tags when posting code (see the sticky threads), and please drop the habit of excessive punctuation. It won't make anyone answer any quicker (the opposite is more likely).

&c is the address of the variable c, whereas c would be the variable and hence the value it contains.

In the call to printf, you want to print the value of c, not its address. Besides, if you did want to print the address, then you should have used "%p".

When you use scanf to input values into a and b, you do still need to use &a and &b, the addresses of a and b, because scanf needs to know where to put the value. scanf needs the address, printf needs the value.
