nested if else troubles :-[

[solsunny]

Okay, so I am REALLY new to C, and have been stumped for over 6 hours on this realy (seemingly) basic
if...else program. Here's the whole shebang:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

/*
* This program will classify varying resistances
* according to its inputed value,
* and utilize input validation for negative values.
*/

int main(void)
{
   double resist;

      printf ("Please enter a value for resistance: ");
      scanf ("lf", &resist);

      if (resist > 1000000) {
         printf ("That resistance is in MEGA-ohms!\n");
      }
      else if (resist >= 1000) {      /* This will determine kilo-ohms */
           printf ("That resistance is in kilo-ohms.\n");
      }
      else if (resist >= 1) {      /* This will determine "base-line" ohms */
           printf ("That resistance is in ohms.\n");
      }
      else if (resist < 1) {         /* This will determine if milli-ohms */
           printf ("That resistance is milli-ohms.\n");
      }   
      else if (resist <= 0) {   /* This will be input validation for zero or a negative value */   
           printf ("You must enter a value greater than zero!\n");
      }
      return (0);
}

scanf("%lf", &resist);

I know what it feels like but there's no need to feel bad, you wont forget that again.

Try to enter 1000000 and think about your output.

Maybe you've figure it out on your own until now, but you also have a small bug - see what happens if you input negative values ... . Also, what @czerny said.
