89 Pointstrouble with variable challenge
I can't figure out this question, I've tried a few different ways and none have worked. "Add a printf statement to print the radius variable. Here is what your output should look like: A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches." Will someone please show me a correct answer to this or something similar? I did this: float radius = 14.5;
printf("%f A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches.\n" radius);
return 0;
I'm gonna keep trying of course but a little assistants will be appreciated.

float radius = 14.5 printf (A ball with a radius of %f inches.\n", radius);

89 Pointsthis last suggestion is what i tried after posting this question and it didn't work either. I'm going to try it again when i get time to work on it again. Thank you for helping so far. Now that you're on this part let me know if you figure it out and i'll do the same.

float radius = 14.5; printf(A ball with a radius of %f inches./n", radius);
Worked for me.

Note the %f instead of stating the answer.
Hope this works/helps!

89 Pointsit makes sense and i tried it after i posted but it still didn't work. Your reply does help and now I understand the %f would plug in the 14.5 from the float line.

2,579 PointsI'm not at this point in the course yet, but the first thing that sticks out is no comma after the "" print statement. Maybe try printf(%f A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches.\n", radius);
Like I said, not there yet, so take it with a grain of salt.
