C Program to Demonstrate the Working of Keyword long

C Program to Demonstrate the Working of Keyword long

The long is a size modifier, indicated by keyword long, that may increase the size of a variable during declaration. This program will demonstrate the working of long keyword.
 
long keyword in C programming
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:

Example: Program to Demonstrate the Working of long

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a;
    long b;
    long long c;

    double e;
    long double f;


    printf("Size of int = %ld bytes \n", sizeof(a));
    printf("Size of long = %ld bytes\n", sizeof(b));
    printf("Size of long long = %ld bytes\n", sizeof(c));

    printf("Size of double = %ld bytes\n", sizeof(e));
    printf("Size of long double = %ld bytes\n", sizeof(f));

    return 0;
}
Output
Size of int = 4 bytes 
Size of long = 8 bytes
Size of long long = 8 bytes
Size of double = 8 bytes
Size of long double = 16 bytes
In this program, the sizeof operator is used to find the size of int, long, long long, double and long double.
The long keyword cannot be used with float and char type variables.

C Program to Check Whether a Number is Positive or Negative

C Program to Check Whether a Number is Positive or Negative In this example, you will learn to check whether a number (entered by the user) is negative or positive.    To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Operators C if...else Statement This program takes a number from the user and checks whether that number is either positive or negative or zero. Example #1: Check if a Number is Positive or Negative Using if...else #include <stdio.h> int main () { double number ; printf ( "Enter a number: " ); scanf ( "%lf" , & number ); if ( number <= 0.0 ) { if ( number == 0.0 ) printf ( "You entered 0." ); else printf ( "You entered a negative number." ); } else printf ( "You entered a positive num...

C Program to Print an Integer (Entered by the User)

C Program to Print an Integer (Entered by the User) In this program, integer entered by the user is stored in a variable. Then, that variable is displayed on the screen using printf() function.   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Constants and Variables C Programming Data Types C Input Output (I/O) Program to Print an Integer #include <stdio.h> int main () { int number ; // printf() dislpays the formatted output printf ( "Enter an integer: " ); // scanf() reads the formatted input and stores them scanf ( "%d" , & number ); // printf() displays the formatted output printf ( "You entered: %d" , number ); return 0 ; } Output Enter a integer: 25 You entered: 25 In this program, an integer variable  number is declared. ...

C Program to Swap Two Numbers

C Program to Swap Two Numbers This example contains two different techniques to swap numbers in C programming. The first program uses temporary variable to swap numbers, whereas the second program doesn't use temporary variables.   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Data Types C Programming Operators C Input Output (I/O) Example 1: Program to Swap Numbers Using Temporary Variable #include <stdio.h> int main () { double firstNumber , secondNumber , temporaryVariable ; printf ( "Enter first number: " ); scanf ( "%lf" , & firstNumber ); printf ( "Enter second number: " ); scanf ( "%lf" ,& secondNumber ); // Value of firstNumber is assigned to temporaryVariable temporaryVariable = firstNumber ; // Value of secondNumber...
