C Program to Multiply two Floating Point Numbers

C Program to Multiply two Floating Point Numbers

In this program, user is asked to enter two numbers (floating point numbers). Then, the product of those two numbers is stored in a variable and displayed on the screen.
 
Multiplication of two number
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:

Program to Multiply Two Numbers

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    double firstNumber, secondNumber, product;
    printf("Enter two numbers: ");

    // Stores two floating point numbers in variable firstNumber and secondNumber respectively
    scanf("%lf %lf", &firstNumber, &secondNumber);  
 
    // Performs multiplication and stores the result in variable productOfTwoNumbers
    product = firstNumber * secondNumber;  

    // Result up to 2 decimal point is displayed using %.2lf
    printf("Product = %.2lf", product);
    
    return 0;
}
Output
Enter two numbers: 2.4
1.12
Product = 2.69
In this program, user is asked to enter two numbers. These two numbers entered by the user is stored in variable firstNumber and secondNumber respectively. This is done using scanf() function.
Then, the product of firstNumber and secondNumber is evaluated and the result is stored in variable productOfTwoNumbers.
Finally, the productOfTwoNumbers is displayed on the screen using printf() function.
Notice that, the result is round to second decimal place using %.2lf conversion character.

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 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. ...
