Programs with the scanf not working properly in NetBeans

Question

I've installed NetBeans 7.0.1 today When I try to execute C program with "scanf" in it it's giving strange errors

This is what I wrote:

It keeps on running until I enter something in the output console.

After entering its shows the printf statement and shows "RUN FAILED"

Can anybody tell me what should I do to make this right?

Answer 1

Yes, I have same problem with you, and the solutions in answers are not working on my machine. After searching, I understand that this problem is about Netbean's internal terminal/console section. The internal console is not able to run scanf function. So use external terminal for your project. To do this:

• first right click on your project, and select properties.
• In that window select "Run" tab at the bottom.
• in there, there is "Console Type", change this console type from "internal terminal" to "external terminal".

That is all.

Answer 2

Your printf is not getting flushed so it is not showing until the program ends.

You are not returning a value from main() explicitly, so the result of scanf() is being returned, which is 1 which is interpreted as program failure.
