scanf output has a little wrong

int studentId,nOfWorkingDay;
char name[30],surname[30]; 
printf("Enter person information : name , surname ,studentId, nOfWorkingDay\n");
scanf("%s %s %d %d",&name,&surname,&studentId,&nOfWorkingDay);
printf("%s %s %d %d",name,surname,studentId,nOfWorkingDay);

I get a strange output. For example, when I enter:

birol genç 30 35

the output is:

birol gen┼ 30 35

What is the problem here?

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){

int studentId,nOfWorkingDay;
char name[30],surname[30]; 
printf("Enter person information : name , surname ,studentId,nOfWorkingDay\n");
scanf("%s %s %d %d",name,surname,&studentId,&nOfWorkingDay);
printf("%s %s %d %d",name,surname,studentId,nOfWorkingDay);
}

description:

scanf("%s",firstname);

The %s placeholder is used to read in text, but only until the first white space character is encountered. So a space or a tab or the Enter key terminates the string. (That sucks.) Also, firstname is a char array, so it doesn’t need the & operator in the scanf() function.

scanf("%s %s %d %d",&name,&surname,&studentId,&nOfWorkingDay); should be

scanf("%s %s %d %d", name, surname,&studentId,&nOfWorkingDay);

ie, remove the & before name and surname which are already addresses of the character strings.
