Reading in double values with scanf in c

As far as i know %d means decadic which is number without decimal point. if you want to load double value, use %lf conversion (long float). for printf your values are wrong for same reason, %d is used only for integer (and possibly chars if you know what you are doing) numbers.

Example:

double a,b;
printf("--------\n"); //seperate lines
scanf("%lf",&a);
printf("--------\n"); 
scanf("%lf",&b);
printf("%lf %lf",a,b);

Use the %lf format specifier to read a double:

double a;
scanf("%lf",&a);

Wikipedia has a decent reference for available format specifiers.

You'll need to use the %lf format specifier to print out the results as well:

printf("%lf %lf",a,b);
