Why is the output of int and float always 2358860 and 0.0000000?

#include <stdio.h> int main() { int x; float num; char text[20]; scanf("%d %f %s", &x, &num, text); printf("%d %f %s", &x, &num, text); /*Why does the output of any input always equal 2358860, 0.000000, but the text is accurate. */ }

Because & operator is used to print the address .

Because you shouldn't use the & operator within the printf.
