Inputting floating point number

[Matt Lenzini]

I am new to c and need to input a floating point number into a program. I
have declared a variable
as a float and have tried to input a value but keep getting floating point
overflow?

Matt,

Can you please post some code that shows what you're trying to do? My
guess is that you forgot to put an ampersand before the variable's name
in a scanf() call. But I'm only guessing.

Are you scanning for a float?

If you put the piece of code causing the problem on the bulletin
board it might be apparent at a glance(then again maybe not).
