Program Fails

[Adrian]

I have written the below C program

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("%s\n", strcmp("Test","test"));
}

But the above program gives error. Kindly help me to understand why the above program fails.

The program fails because strcomp() function returns a integer. But you have used qualifier in printf function as %s which is for strings. Since there is discrepancy you have got error. So use the qualifiers with printf and scanf functions for carrying out output and input operations correctly with the input and output data type given.
