I wonder why my sample code is not working

printf("\n");
printf("Enter your name: ");
scanf("%d",&name);
printf("Enter your gender: ");
scanf("%d%d", &m,&f);

if(m==1)
{
printf("Hello Mr. %d",name);
}
else if (f==1)
{
printf("Hello Ms. %d",name);
return 0;

Compile your code

You have to look at the compilation errors and fix them.

Also, when you share you code, share the whole content, not just a fragment. Includes, variables, functions and other declarations, etc are also important.

Problems

Strings

When you want to read or print strings, you have to use the %s format. Also, store strings in char buffers (see name below). Only problem is that in a buffer you cannot store longer strings than the size of the buffer.

Decimals

Decimals (e.g. int) should be used with the %d format.

A possible solution

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char name[100];
    int gender;
    
    printf("Enter your name: ");
    scanf("%s", name);
    printf("\nEnter your gender (1 for male, 0 for female): ");
    scanf("%d", &gender);
    printf("\n");

    if (gender == 1)
    {
        printf("Hello Mr. %s\n", name);
    }
    else if (gender == 0)
    {
        printf("Hello Ms. %s\n", name);
    }
    else
    {
        printf("Unknown gender code: %d\n", gender);
    }

    return 0;
}

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

int main()

{

 string s;

int g;

printf("Enter your name");

scanf("%s",&s);

printf("Enter your Gender(1 for male \n0f or Female\n  3 for other)");

scanf("%d",&g);

if(g==1)

printf("Hello Mr");

elseif(g==0)

printf("Hello Ms");

else

printf("Other gender")

return 0;

// answer in character type

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
    char name[20];
    char x;
    printf("enter your name: \n");
    scanf("%s",name);
    printf("enter your gender: \n");
    scanf("%s",&x);
    
    if(x=='m')
    {
        printf("hello Mr.%s",name);
    }
    else if(x=='f')
    {
        printf("hello Mrs.%s",name);
    }
    else
    {
        printf("hello %s",name);
    }
    return 0;
