Argument 2 - Pointer Error ?? Easy Fix??


So yet another, final question about the xemacs program I wrote:

I wrote this:

void ConvertTemp (void)
{
double celsiusTemperature;

/* Prompts the user to enter a celsius temperature for
conversion into fahrenheit temperature. */
scanf("Enter the celsius temperature : %f\n\n",
celsiusTemperature);

/* Displays the converted celsius temperature in
fahrenheit temperature. */
printf("%f celsius is %f fahrenheit\n",
celsiusTemperature,
CelsiusToFahrenheit(celsiusTemperature));
}


I got this error:

travel.c: In function `ConvertTemp':
travel.c:631: warning: format argument is not a pointer (arg 2)

Why?

Someone got a fix for this?

Thanks,
Mistro116

use
scanf("Enter the celsius temperature : %f\n\n",
&celsiusTemperature);
notice the & before the celciusTemperature.
also for posts please put in the line number so that users can see which line the error is directly without having to go through the full code.
