Solution(By Examveda Team)

When we give scanf() a "%f" format string, that means "We want you to try and get us a floating point number. When we provide input like 'xyz', it's not going to match anything, because 'xyz' is not a valid floating-point number.

    Come on man xyz is string and the input type for the scanf is a float. It will be a runtime error!
