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 Prime or Not

C Program to Check Whether a Number is Prime or Not Example to check whether an integer (entered by the user) is a prime number or not using for loop and if...else statement. To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C if...else Statement C Programming for Loop C Programming break and continue Statement A prime number is a positive integer which is divisible only by 1 and itself. For example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 Example: Program to Check Prime Number #include <stdio.h> int main () { int n , i , flag = 0 ; printf ( "Enter a positive integer: " ); scanf ( "%d" , & n ); for ( i = 2 ; i <= n / 2 ; ++ i ) { // condition for nonprime number if ( n % i == 0 ) { flag = 1 ; break ; } } if ( n == 1 ) { printf ( "1 is neither a prime nor a comp...

C "Hello, World!" Program

C "Hello, World!" Program A simple C program to display "Hello, World!" on the screen. Since, it's a very simple program, it is often used to illustrate the syntax of a programming language.   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Input Output (I/O) Program to Display "Hello, World!" #include <stdio.h> int main () { // printf() displays the string inside quotation printf ( "Hello, World!" ); return 0 ; } Output Hello, World! How "Hello, World!" program works? The #include <stdio.h> is a preprocessor command. This command tells compiler to include the contents of stdio.h (standard input and output) file in the program. The  stdio.h  file contains functions such as scanf() and print() to take input and display output respectively. If you use printf() function ...

C Program to Check Leap Year

C Program to Check Leap Year This program checks whether an year (integer) entered by the user is a leap year or not.   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Operators C if...else Statement A leap year is exactly divisible by 4 except for century years (years ending with 00). The century year is a leap year only if it is perfectly divisible by 400. Example: Program to Check Leap Year #include <stdio.h> int main () { int year ; printf ( "Enter a year: " ); scanf ( "%d" ,& year ); if ( year % 4 == 0 ) { if ( year % 100 == 0 ) { // year is divisible by 400, hence the year is a leap year if ( year % 400 == 0 ) printf ( "%d is a leap year." , year ); else printf ( "%d i...
