Passed the compiler,but segementation fault

To find a number if it is a prime number, I cannot find any wrong.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int isPrime(int valToCheck)
{
    int i;
    int retVal = 1;
    for(i=1;i<valToCheck;i++)
    {
        if(valToCheck%i == 0 && i != 1)
        {
           retVal = 0;
            break;
        }
    }
     return retVal;
}


int main()
{
   int x;
   int y;
   printf("Enter Number : ");
   scanf("%d\n",x);
   y = isPrime(x);
   if (y==1)
       printf("x is a prime\n");
   else
       printf("x is not a prime\n");
}

Your problem is here.
Code:
   scanf("%d\n",x);

The "\n" isn't a conversion format specifier, and you want to read the value into the address of 'x'.
Try this.
Code:
   scanf("%d",&x);
