Sample Programs
1. Program to print text
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
// printf() displays the string inside quotation
printf(“AAMEC - IT DEPT!");
return 0;
}
2. Program to Print an Integer
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int number;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
// reads and stores input
scanf("%d", &number);
// displays output
printf("You entered: %d", number);
return 0;
}
3. Program to Add Two Integers
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int number1, number2, sum;
printf("Enter two integers: ");
scanf("%d %d", &number1, &number2);
// calculate the sum
sum = number1 + number2;
printf("%d + %d = %d", number1, number2, sum);
return 0;
}
4. Program to Multiply Two
Numbers
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
double a, b, product;
printf("Enter two numbers: ");
scanf("%lf %lf", &a, &b);
// Calculating product
product = a * b;
// %.2lf displays number up to 2 decimal point
printf("Product = %.2lf", product);
return 0;
}
5. Find the Size of Variables
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int intType;
float floatType;
double doubleType;
char charType;
// sizeof evaluates the size of a variable
printf("Size of int: %zu bytes\n", sizeof(intType));
printf("Size of float: %zu bytes\n", sizeof(floatType));
printf("Size of double: %zu bytes\n", sizeof(doubleType));
printf("Size of char: %zu byte\n", sizeof(charType));
return 0;
}
