Unlike languages like Python, in C, it is important to specify what data format you are trying to print. Adding the term <code>\"%f\"<\/code> to your print statement will tell your compiler that you intend to print out a float value. Here is what the syntax could look like:<\/p>\n<pre><code>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;\n#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;\n\nstatic float w = 10.00;\nint main()\n{\n    printf(\"%f\", w);\n    return 0;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>For more information on printing values in C, I recommend that you check out out the following resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.codingunit.com\/printf-format-specifiers-format-conversions-and-formatted-output\">https:\/\/www.codingunit.com\/printf-format-specifiers-format-conversions-and-formatted-output<\/a><\/li>\n<li>How to print in C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As I mentioned above, I have not been programming in C recently.
