Not getting it.

yes almost there. The correct answer is:

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

Think of the %f symbol and the radius following the comma as a pair. Wherever you place the %f, it will get the value of the radius variable, and place it there.

As another example,

We could say printf("%f %f %f", radius1, radius2, radius3);

the first %f would be paired to radius1, and print that value. the second %f would be paired to radius, and print THAT value. and the last %f would be paired to radius 3 and finally print this value.

I Hope this helps, after the learning curve things start to make a lot more sense!

Hey Jessica,

Please copy and paste your code challenge into your post so we can see whats up. Also, make sure you place it inside three hash marks.

task: Create a float variable named 'radius' with the value '14.5'. (Do not write the main function) my answer: float radius = 14.5; This I got correct.

Next was to write a print f I wrote: print f ("%f a ball has a radius of"); This is not correct.

Thank you
