problem with 'long double' datatype in c++

[muktadir.rhmn]

my code:

#include<cstdio>
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

main()
{
long double j;
scanf("%Lf", &j);
cout<< j;
return 0;
}

If I give any number as input, the output is always 0. why? where's the problem ? plz help

What compiler are you using?
Does this code compile?
What if you change the long double to double?

[2kaud]

main() should be defined as returning a type int

int main()

apart from this, it compiles and runs as c++ as expected using VS2013.

thanks for your rreply.

I'm using code::blocks IDE. (version 13.12)

Yes, this code compiles and runs.

It works well if i use 'double' instead of 'long double'. But I've to store a relatively large number.

@2kaud

I've tried with 'int main()'. but again got the same result.

thanks.
i was right. the problem wasn't in my code, rather in codeblocks.
