C Program for Two Floating-Point Multiplication

The program accepts two numbers from the user, multiplies them, and displays the product with precision up to two decimal places.

#include <stdio.h>


void main()
{
    double first_num, second_num, product;
    printf("Enter two numbers: ");

    // Stores two floating point numbers in variables
    scanf("%lf %lf", &first_num, &second_num);

    // Performs multiplication and stores the result in variable product
    product = first_num * second_num;

    // Result up to 2 decimal point is displayed using %.2lf
    printf("Product of %f * %f = %.2lf", first_num, second_num,product);
}

Output:

Enter two numbers:
8.2
1.5
Product of 8.200000 * 1.500000 = 12.30

Code Explanation

#include <stdio.h>

Includes the standard input/output library for using printf and scanf.

void main()
{
    double first_num, second_num, product;

Declares three double precision variables:
- first_num → First input number
- second_num → Second input number
- product → Stores the result of multiplication

printf("Enter two numbers: ");
scanf("%lf %lf", &first_num, &second_num);

Prompts the user to enter two numbers.
%lf format specifier is used for double type inputs.

product = first_num * second_num;

Performs multiplication of the two numbers and stores the result in product.

printf("Product of %f * %f = %.2lf", first_num, second_num, product);

Displays the product:
- %f → Prints first_num and second_num
- %.2lf → Prints product rounded to 2 decimal places

C Program to Convert Inch to Feet

Pr-Request to learn

Preprocessor command #
Header file
Variable declare & define
Multiplication * operator
printf() function

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int inches, feet;
    feet = 10;
    inches = feet*12;
    printf("there are %d inches in %d feet./n", inches, feet);
}

Output: there are 120 inches in 10 feet

Code Explanation:

#include<stdio.h> is a standard input output header file.
C requires a ; semicolon at every end of the statement.
printf() is a standard C function (Called from main)
\n signifies a new line.
