   Hi. I have a question. I'm new to C. I'm writing an application that
   needs the extra precison of double-length floating point numbers
   rather than the single-precision float type. I'd like to be able to
   print out the double-floating-point variables, but how? I have tried
   the following but it doesn't work:

   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <math.h>

   void main(void)
   {
	   double a=3.125978724;


	   printf("The variable a is:\n\t");
	   fprintf ("%f\n", &a);
                            ^^
Make this:
	  fprintf( "%f\n:, a );

	   return;
   }

   I get an "incompatible pointer type" warning. How can I print out the
   value of a double-precision floating point variable? Any help at all
   will be greatly appreciated...:)  Thank you!!
