Segmentation fault (core dumped) in C

Question

This is a program for checking the leap year. Could you kindly tell me why I'm getting this error?

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int year=0;
    printf("Enter the year  to be Validated \n");
    scanf("%d",year);
    if (year%4==0){
        printf ("one");
        if (year%100==0){
            printf ("two");
            if (year%400==0){
                printf("Leap Year");
            }
                else{
                    printf("Non Leap year");


            }}}

  return 0;
}

Get a couple of [good beginners books to read](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/562303/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list), and read more about how to use [`scanf` (and family)](http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/io/fscanf). — Some programmer dude, Aug 17 '17 at 12:53

You have to pass pointer to scanf.

scanf("%d",year);

should be

scanf("%d", &year);
