Hi All,
    I just started to learn compiling C codes for R usage, and got a problem when I was playing with my 'hello world' code. 
  
#include <R.h>
#include <Rdefines.h>    
#include <Rmath.h>

SEXP test( ) {
  double x;
  x=dnorm(1.0,0.0,1.0,1);
  printf(" x value is: %d \n",x);
  return(R_NilValue);
}

   I got the result :    x value is: -466460838 

Could someone explain to me what was wrong here ?

Thanks a lot.
