I just completed my first C program for my C class and I wanted to run it at
home so I got DICE C.  Well my program was to find the Volume of a cylinder
and since floating point isn't supported I couldn't do it on DICE.  So I got
PDC and now it seems that scanf doesn't work.   Here is my program, please tell
me if I'm doing something wrong:
 
#include    <stdio.h>
 
#define     PI	    3.1419

float   Radius, Height, Volume;	/* declares variables used */

main()
{ 
    printf("\n This is a program that will compute the volume of a cylinder. ");
    printf("\n Please enter the radius: ");     /* prompt for radius */
    scanf("%f", &Radius);
    printf(" Now please enter the height: ");   /* prompt for Height */
    scanf("%f", &Height);
    Volume = Radius * Height * PI;
    printf("\n The volume is %f . \n", Volume);
 
}
 

All the program does is print out the print commands.  Help please.
