Trouble with Variables Code Challenge

well the first task it says to type a float named "radius" with the value of 14.5,,,, I got that one right my response was float radius = 14.5;

The 2nd task was create a print statement and the output being " A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches" but when i try it says "its in the wrong format" and my response is...

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

help!

:) Now it is very clear what's wrong! If you follow this same format each time you ask a question, you can get answers much quicker!

printf replaces occurrences of %f, %d, %c, %s, %@, etc. (you get the idea) with the value of what follows the comma, hence, what you have there would produce this instead:

14.5 A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches.

Give it some thought, let it sinks in first. How would you make the number in A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches be dynamically replaced with the value of radius?

It would be harmful if I have just given you the answer right away, there are many things to learn beyond this and most of the time you just have to figure it out as much as you can yourself. But here's something to get you closer:

You want to print out something like A ball with a radius of ??? inches, where ??? is the value of your variable radius, now use %f instead so ??? gets replaced by the proper value from radius. Your answer should look something like this:

printf("A ball with a radius of ....", radius);

If this is still not enough, you may want to watch the video again.

When I put this-- printf("A ball with a radius of %f inches.\n", radius); It rejects it. HELP

Still rejected printf("A ball with a radius of %f.\n", radius);

Ans, Float radius = 14.5; Printf("%f radius.\n", radius); printf("A ball with a radius %f\n", radius); printf("A ball with a radius %f\n", radius);
