    Default scanf not reading input correctly

    I wrote a program:
    Qt Code:
    1. int main(void) {
    2. double iiput;
    3. printf("\n\nEnter a degree value: ");
    4. scanf("%14.10f", &iiput);
    5. printf("%14.10f\n", iiput);}
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    and the user-machine interaction upon compiling this was:
    Enter a degree value: 200.5896113248
    2.1702880859
    Please explain what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you.

    Make sure that you have all warnings turned on when you compile your program, then the compiler will tell what might be wrong:
    $ gcc -Wall a.c
    a.c: In function `main':
    a.c:6: warning: unknown conversion type character `.' in format
    a.c:6: warning: too many arguments for format
    a.c:7: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
    Try:
    Qt Code:
    1. scanf("%lf", &iiput);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
