Help with float Variables

Hey, I can't figure out what is wrong with this bit of code, can anyone help me?

float radius = 14.5; printf(%f/n", radius);

You are missing a double quote at the start of your format string (after the first parentheses) and your format string is not what your code challenge expects (check the code challenge text at the top for more information).

Ah ok then. I'l go try that and see if it works.

{EDIT} Tried that, and it told me that was not the correct input to printf. Here's the code that got that:

float radius = 14.5; printf("%f/n", radius");

{EDIT} found another forum with the same problem as me, and that one had the solution so problem solved.

Yes, as I told you, the format string was not correct (your output should be something like "A ball with a 14.5 radius" or whatever. Anyway, glad to hear that you solved it.
