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 all Roots of a Quadratic Equation

C Program to Find all Roots of a Quadratic Equation This program accepts coefficients of a quadratic equation from the user and displays the roots (both real and complex roots depending upon the discriminant ).   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Operators C if...else Statement The standard form of a quadratic equation is: ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0 The term b 2 -4ac is known as the discriminant of a quadratic equation. The discriminant tells the nature of the roots. If discriminant is greater than 0, the roots are real and different. If discriminant is equal to 0, the roots are real and equal. If discriminant is less than 0, the roots are complex and different. Example: Program to Find Roots of a Quadratic Equation #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main () {

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 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.   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) 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 doub
