    because,c only pass the argument by value.
    if you want a function to change the content of a variable that is not local to the function.you pass the address of a variable to the function.scanf() reads value into variable
    (that are not local to the scanf()).so you have to pass the address of a variable you want those value to be in.but in case of printf(),we does not need to change the content of a variable.
