The discussion centers around an error encountered while running C programs that involve double matrices, specifically the message "scanf: floating point format not linked" followed by abnormal program termination. The issue is identified as a lack of floating point support linked in the compiler, which is Turbo C in this case. Users suggest that the problem is not related to the system (Windows Vista Premium) but rather to the compiler configuration. To resolve the issue, it is recommended to ensure that the necessary floating point libraries are properly linked in the Turbo C environment.

Am writting programs in c that contain double matrices.
When i run it and input data, an error appears on the screen
scanf: floating point format not linked
Abnormal program termination.
Is this a problem about my system? I guess. Actually i am using vista premium.
What can i do to solve the problem?

It's telling you that you haven't got floating point support (presumably a library) linked in... i.e. visible to the linker.

Which compiler is it?
