    Hi All

    I have a newbie problem, I am very new to C programming and am studying it as part of a degree course in the uk. We have to use C specifically not C# or C++.

    I am currently running Bloodshed Dev-C++ V4.9.9.2 on Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service pack 3 V.3264

    My problem is this;

    Having written and compiled a simple program;
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {     float x,y  ;                                    
          printf(" Please input 2 integers\n"); 
          scanf("%f %f", &x, &y);                
          printf("\nThe two integers are:\n %f %f\n",x, y);
          system("PAUSE");                               
          return 0;
    }
    
    tested it and it works how i want, i then edited the program to;

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {     float x,y  ;                                   
          printf("Please input 2 integers\n");
          scanf("%f %f", &x, &y);               
          printf("\nThe two integers are:\n%f %2f\n",x,y);
          system("PAUSE");                                
          return 0;
    }
    only a simple variation on the original program, but when i compile the new edited program (after having saved it as a new source file) it acts exactly as the original unedited program within Dev-C++.

    Closing out Dev-C++ and reopening the source file makes no difference, even rebooting my computer and then opening the source file again with Dev-C++ makes no difference, the executed program acts exactly as the original unedited program.

    This is driving me nuts and causing my work to take 3-4 times as long as it should.

    Does anyone have any idea where i am going wrong adn what i need to do to stop this happening?

    Thanks TFLNemesis

    difference is there
    first program layout
    Code:
    
    asadulla ~/test> g++ temp6.cpp
    execution gcc-3.3.1/g++ (gprs/pcusa_passport_sas)
    asadulla ~/test> ./a.out
    Please input 2 integers
    12 34
    
    The two integers are:
    12.000000 34.000000
    
    second program senario is

    Code:
    
    asadulla ~/test> g++ temp6.cpp
    execution gcc-3.3.1/g++ (gprs/pcusa_passport_sas)
    asadulla ~/test> ./a.out
     Please input 2 integers
    12 34
