Program for Product of two numbers in C
How to multiply two numbers in C?
We are going to learn to do the product of two numbers in C language. There are different ways to multiply numbers in C language. The most informative way to learn is by multiplying two floating point numbers in C as it includes both basic knowledge and a bit more knowledge due to floating points.
Syntax:
product = num1 * num2;
Steps to multiply two number:
- Step 1: Start
- Step 2: Declare the variable num1=2, num2=4, product.
- Step 3: Read input num1 and num2 from the user or predefine it according to the need.
- Step 4: Multiply num1 and num2 and store the value in product.
- Step5: Display the number in the stdout console.
- Step 6: Program end.
Working:
Example 1 :
A simple program where we will multiply two variables that are predefined.
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
double num1=3.1, num2=4.2, product;
// Calculating product
product = num1 * num2;
// displays number up to 2 decimal point
printf("Product = %.2lf", product);
return 0;
}
Output:
Product = 13.02
Example 2 :
Program where we will do the product of two floating point numbers given by the users.
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
double num1, num2, product;
printf("Enter two numbers: ");
scanf("%lf %lf", &num1, &num2);
// Calculating product
product = num1 * num2;
// %.2lf displays number up to 2 decimal point
printf("Product = %.2lf", product);
return 0;
}
Input:
Enter two numbers: 9.6 5.24
Output:
Product = 50.30
Example 3 :
Program where we will multiply two floating point number in C using functions.
#include<stdio.h>
float multiply(float a, float b){
return a * b;
}
int main(){
float num1, num2, product;
printf("Enter the first Number: ");
scanf("%f", &num1);
printf("Enter the second Number: ");
scanf("%f", &num2);
product = multiply(num1, num2);
printf("The Product of the numbers is : %.3f", product);
return 0;
}
Input:
Enter the first Number: 5.25 Enter the second Number: 6.1
Output:
The Product of the numbers is : 32.0255
