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 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...

C Program to Compute Quotient and Remainder

C Program to Compute Quotient and Remainder This program evaluates the quotient and remainder when an integer is divided by another integer.   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 Compute Quotient and Remainder #include <stdio.h> int main (){ int dividend , divisor , quotient , remainder ; printf ( "Enter dividend: " ); scanf ( "%d" , & dividend ); printf ( "Enter divisor: " ); scanf ( "%d" , & divisor ); // Computes quotient quotient = dividend / divisor ; // Computes remainder remainder = dividend % divisor ; printf ( "Quotient = %d\n" , quotient ); printf ( "Remainder = %d" , remainder ); return 0 ; } ...
