Why when I use getloadavg(3) do I come out with wierd numbers?

This is my code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void) {
        int i;
        double loadavg[3];
        int getloadavg(double loadavg[], int nelem);

        for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
                printf ("%d\n", loadavg[i]);
        }
}

and my output is always different, but it's:

%./loadavg
1
4
663

This time.  What can I do to make these numbers correct?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
