C Program to Find the Size of int, float, double and char

C Program to Find the Size of int, float, double and char

This program declares 4 variables of type int, float, double and char. Then, the size of each variable is evaluated using sizeof operator.
 
Sizeof operator to evaluate the size of a variable
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:

Example: Program to Find the Size of a variable

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int integerType;
    float floatType;
    double doubleType;
    char charType;

    // Sizeof operator is used to evaluate the size of a variable
    printf("Size of int: %ld bytes\n",sizeof(integerType));
    printf("Size of float: %ld bytes\n",sizeof(floatType));
    printf("Size of double: %ld bytes\n",sizeof(doubleType));
    printf("Size of char: %ld byte\n",sizeof(charType));

    return 0;
}
Output
Size of int: 4 bytes
Size of float: 4 bytes
Size of double: 8 bytes
Size of char: 1 byte
In this program, 4 variables integerType, floatType, doubleType and charType are declared having int, float, double and char type respectively.

C Program to Find Factorial of a Number Using Recursion

C Program to Find Factorial of a Number Using Recursion Example to find factorial of a non-negative integer (entered by the user) using recursion. To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Functions C User-defined functions C Recursion The factorial of a positive number n is given by: factorial of n (n!) = 1*2*3*4....n The factorial of a negative number doesn't exist. And the factorial of 0 is 1. You will learn to find the factorial of a number using recursion in this example. Visit this page to learn, how you can find the  factorial of a number using loop . Example: Factorial of a Number Using Recursion #include <stdio.h> long int multiplyNumbers ( int n ); int main () { int n ; printf ( "Enter a positive integer: " ); scanf ( "%d" , & n ); printf ( "Factorial of %d = %ld...

C Program to Add Two Integers

C Program to Add Two Integers In this program, user is asked to enter two integers. Then, the sum of those two integers is stored in a variable and displayed on the screen.   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Data Types C Programming Constants and Variables C Input Output (I/O) C Programming Operators Program to Add Two Integers #include <stdio.h> int main () { int firstNumber , secondNumber , sumOfTwoNumbers ; printf ( "Enter two integers: " ); // Two integers entered by user is stored using scanf() function scanf ( "%d %d" , & firstNumber , & secondNumber ); // sum of two numbers in stored in variable sumOfTwoNumbers sumOfTwoNumbers = firstNumber + secondNumber ; // Displays sum printf ( "%d + %d = %d" , firstNumber , secondNum...

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...
