SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the "floating point format not linked" error encountered in Turbo C when running C programs that utilize double matrices. The issue arises due to the absence of floating point support libraries linked to the program, leading to abnormal termination upon execution. Users on Windows Vista Premium reported this error, indicating a need for proper library linkage in Turbo C to resolve the issue.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of C programming and data types, specifically double matrices.
  • Familiarity with Turbo C compiler and its configuration.
  • Knowledge of linking libraries in C programming.
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for compiler-related errors.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to link floating point libraries in Turbo C.
  • Explore compiler settings in Turbo C for enabling floating point support.
  • Learn about common errors in C programming and their resolutions.
  • Investigate alternative compilers that support modern C standards.
USEFUL FOR

C programmers, students learning C, and developers using Turbo C who encounter linking issues with floating point operations.

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?

It is Turbo C
