Hi, Here's a section from my program:

main() {
  int lat_zone;
  int cell, isccp_cell, isccp_num;
  float lat, lon;
  float centlat[NUM_LAT_ZONES], centlon[MAX_ISCCP_NUM];

  equare();

  printf("Please enter the lat and long in degrees: ");
  scanf("%f%f",&lat, &lon);
  printf("%f, %f",lat,lon);

And here's what I get when I try to run this program:

> iscgrid
Please enter the lat and long in degrees: 1.0, 1.0
Segmentation fault
>


So obviously something is wrong with my scanf call, but what? I asked
the guru here and he said he never uses scanf, he uses fgets to read
from the input to a character array and then uses scanf to read that.
Is this common proactice? Is there some better way? All advice
welcome!

Thanks.
