c programming examples
Example 1 - C hello world program
/* A very simple c program printing a string on screen*/
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
Output of above program:

"Hello World"
Example 2 - c program to take input from user using scanf
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int number;

printf("Enter a number\n");
scanf("%d",&number);

printf("Number entered by you is %d\n", number);

return 0;
}
Output:
Enter a number
5
Number entered by you is 5
Example 3 - using if else control instructions
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int x = 1;

if ( x == 1 )
printf("x is equal to one.\n");
else
printf("For comparison use == as = is the assignment
operator.\n");

return 0;
}
Output:
x is equal to one.
Example 4 - loop example
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int value = 1;

while(value<=3)
{
printf("Value is %d\n", value);
value++;
}

return 0;
}
Output:
Value is 1
Value is 2
Value is 3
Example 5 - c program for prime number
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n, c;

scanf("%d", &n);

if ( n == 2 )
printf("Prime number.\n");
else
{
for ( c = 3 ; c <= n - 1 ; c++ )
{
if ( n % c == 0 )
break;
}
if ( c != n )
printf("Not prime.\n");
else
printf("Prime number.\n");
}
return 0;
}
Example 6 - command line arguments
#include<stdio.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int c;

printf("Number of command line arguments passed: %d\n", argc);

for ( c = 0 ; c < argc ; c++)
printf("%d. Command line argument passed is %s\n", c+1,
argv[c]);

return 0;
}
Above c program prints the number and all arguments which are passed to it.
Example 7 - Array program
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int array[100], n, c;

printf("Enter the number of elements in array\n");
scanf("%d", &n);

printf("Enter %d elements\n", n);

for ( c = 0 ; c < n ; c++ )
scanf("%d", &array[c]);

printf("Array elements entered bu you are:\n");

for ( c = 0 ; c < n ; c++ )
printf("array[%d] = %d\n", c, array[c]);

return 0;
}
Example 8 - function program
#include<stdio.h>

void my_function();

main()
{
printf("Main function.\n");

my_function();

printf("Back in function main.\n");

return 0;
}

void my_function()
{
printf("Welcome to my function. Feel at home.\n");
}
Example 9 - Using comments in a program
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
// Single line comment in c source code

printf("Writing comments is very useful.\n");

/*
* Multiline comment syntax
* Comments help us to understand code later easily.
* Will you write comments while developing programs ?
*/

printf("Good luck\n");

return 0;
}
Example 10 - using structures in c programming
#include<stdio.h>

struct programming
{
float constant;
char *pointer;
};

main()
{
struct programming variable;
char string[] = "Programming in Software Development.";

variable.constant = 1.23;
variable.pointer = string;

printf("%f\n", variable.constant);
printf("%s\n", variable.pointer);

return 0;
}
Example 11 - c program for fibonacci series
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

main()
{
int n, first = 0, second = 1, next, c;

printf("Enter the number of terms ");
scanf("%d",&n);

printf("First %d terms of fibonacci series are :-\n",n);

for ( c = 0 ; c < n ; c++ )
{
if ( c <= 1 )
next = c;
else
{
next = first + second;
first = second;
second = next;
}
printf("%d\n",next);
}

getch();
return 0;
}
Example 12 - c graphics programming
#include <graphics.h>
#include<conio.h>

main()
{
int gd = DETECT, gm;

initgraph(&gd, &gm,"C:\\TC\\BGI");

outtextxy(10,20, "Graphics source code example.");

circle(200, 200, 50);

setcolor(BLUE);

line(350, 250, 450, 50);

getch();
closegraph( );
return 0;
}
For gcc compiler users

If you are using gcc compiler on linux operating system then you need to modify
programs. For example consider the following programs which prints first ten natural
numbers
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

main()
{
int c;

for ( c = 1 ; c <= 10 ; c++ )
printf("%d\n", c);

getch();
return 0;
}
Above source code includes a header file <conio.h> and uses function getch, but this
file is Borland specific so it works in turbo c compiler but not in gcc. So the code for gcc
should be like
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int c;

/* for loop */

for ( c = 1 ; c <= 10 ; c++ )
printf("%d\n", c);

return 0;
}
If using gcc compiler save the code in a file say numbers.c, to compile the program
open the terminal and enter command gcc numbers.c, this will compile the program and
to execute the program enter command ./a.out .
c program print integer

This c program first inputs an integer and then prints it. Input is done using scanf
function and number is printed on screen using printf.
C programming code
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int a;

printf("Enter an integer\n");
scanf("%d", &a);

printf("Integer that you have entered is %d\n", a);

return 0;
}
Output:
c program to add two numbers

C program to add two numbers: This c language program perform the basic arithmetic
operation of addition on two numbers and then prints the sum on the screen. For
example if the user entered two numbers as 5, 6 then 11 ( 5 + 6 ) will be printed on the
screen.
C programming code
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int a, b, c;

printf("Enter two numbers to add\n");
scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);

c = a + b;

printf("Sum of entered numbers = %d\n",c);

return 0;
}
Add numbers program executable.
Output of program
Addition without using third variable
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int a = 1, b = 2;

/* Storing result of addition in variable a */

a = a + b;

/* Not recommended because original value of a is lost
* and you may be using it some where in code considering it
* as it was entered by the user.
*/

printf("Sum of a and b = %d\n", a);

return 0;
}
C program to add two numbers repeatedly

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int a, b, c;
char ch;

while(1)
{
printf("Enter values of a and b\n");

c = a + b;

printf("a + b = %d\n", c);

printf("Do you wish to add more numbers(y/n)\n");
scanf(" %c",&ch);

if ( ch == 'y' || ch == 'Y' )
continue;
else
break;
}

return 0;
}
Adding numbers in c using function

We have used long data type as it can handle large numbers.
#include<stdio.h>

long addition(long, long);

main()
{
long first, second, sum;

scanf("%ld%ld", &first, &second);

sum = addition(first, second);

float divide;

printf("Enter two integers\n");
scanf("%d%d",&first,&second);

add = first + second;
subtract = first - second;
multiply = first * second;
divide = first / (float)second; //typecasting

printf("Sum = %d\n",add);
printf("Difference = %d\n",subtract);
printf("Multiplication = %d\n",multiply);
printf("Division = %.2f\n",divide);

return 0;
}

Decimal to binary conversion

C program to convert decimal to binary: c language code to convert an integer from
decimal number system(base-10) to binary number system(base-2). Size of integer is
assumed to be 32 bits. We use bitwise operators to perform the desired task. We right
shift the original number by 31, 30, 29, ..., 1, 0 bits using a loop and bitwise AND the
number obtained with 1(one), if the result is 1 then that bit is 1 otherwise it is 0(zero).
C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
int n, c, k;

printf("Enter an integer in decimal number system\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

printf("%d in binary number system is:\n", n);

for ( c = 31 ; c >= 0 ; c-- )
{
k = n >> c;

if ( k & 1 )
printf("1");
else
printf("0");
}

printf("\n");

return 0;
}
Above code only prints binary of integer, but we may wish to perform operations on
binary so in the code below we are storing the binary in a string. We create a function
which returns a pointer to string which is the binary of the number passed as argument
to the function.
C code to store decimal to binary conversion in a

string
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

char *decimal_to_binary(int);

main()
{
int n, c, k;
char *pointer;

printf("Enter an integer in decimal number system\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

pointer = decimal_to_binary(n);
printf("Binary string of %d is: %s\n", n, t);

free(pointer);

return 0;
}

char *decimal_to_binary(int n)
{
int c, d, count;
char *pointer;

count = 0;
pointer = (char*)malloc(32+1);

if ( pointer == NULL )
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

for ( c = 31 ; c >= 0 ; c-- )
{
d = n >> c;

if ( d & 1 )
*(pointer+count) = 1 + '0';
else
*(pointer+count) = 0 + '0';

count++;
}
*(pointer+count) = '\0';

return pointer;
}
c program to find ncr and npr

c program to find nCr and nPr: This code calculate nCr which is n!/(r!*(n-r)!) and nPr =
n!/(n-r)!
C program to find nCr using function

#include<stdio.h>

long find_ncr(int, int);
long find_npr(int, int);

main()
{
int n, r;
long ncr, npr;

printf("Enter the value of n and r\n");
scanf("%d%d",&n,&r);

ncr = find_ncr(n, r);
npr = find_npr(n, r);

printf("%dC%d = %ld\n", n, r, ncr);
printf("%dP%d = %ld\n", n, r, npr);

return 0;
}

long find_ncr(int n, int r)
{
long result;

result = factorial(n)/(factorial(r)*factorial(n-r));

return result;
}

long find_npr(int n, int r)
{
long result;

result = factorial(n)/factorial(n-r);

return result;
}

{
int c;
long result = 1;

for( c = 1 ; c <= n ; c++ )
result = result*c;

return ( result );
}
Output of program:
c program to add n numbers

This c program add n numbers which will be entered by the user. Firstly user will enter a
number indicating how many numbers user wishes to add and then user will enter n
numbers.In our c program to add numbers we are not using an array, if you wish you
can use an array.
C programming code
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

main()
{
int n, sum = 0, c, var;

printf("Enter the number of integers you want to add\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

printf("Enter %d numbers\n",n);

for ( c = 1 ; c <= n ; c++ )
{
scanf("%d",&var);
sum = sum + var;
}

printf("Sum of entered numbers = %d\n",sum);

getch();
return 0;
}
Add n numbers.
Output:
c program to reverse a number

C Program to reverse a number :- This program reverse the number entered by the user
and then prints the reversed number on the screen. For example if user enter 123 as
input then 321 is printed as output. In our program we use modulus(%) operator to
obtain the digits of a number. To invert number look at it and write it from opposite
direction or the output of code is a number obtained by writing original number from
right to left.
C programming code
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n, reverse = 0;

printf("Enter a number to reverse\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

while( n != 0 )
{
reverse = reverse * 10;
reverse = reverse + n%10;
n = n/10;
}

printf("Reverse of entered number is = %d\n", reverse);

return 0;
}
Output of program:
Palindrome Numbers
Palindrome number in c: A palindrome number is a number such that if we reverse it, it
will not change. For example some palindrome numbers examples are 121, 212, 12321,
-454. To check whether a number is palindrome or not first we reverse it and then
compare the number obtained with the original, if both are same then number is
palindrome otherwise not. C program for palindrome number is given below.
Palindrome number algorithm

1. Get the number from user.
2. Reverse it.
3. Compare it with the number entered by the user.
4. If both are same then print palindrome number
5. Else print not a palindrome number.
Palindrome number program c

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n, reverse = 0, temp;

printf("Enter a number to check if it is a palindrome or not\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

temp = n;

while( temp != 0 )
{
reverse = reverse + temp%10;
temp = temp/10;
}

if ( n == reverse )
printf("%d is a palindrome number.\n", n);
else
printf("%d is not a palindrome number.\n", n);

return 0;
}
c program to print patterns of numbers and stars

These program prints various different patterns of numbers and stars. These codes
illustrate how to create various patterns using c programming. Most of these c programs
involve usage of nested loops and space. A pattern of numbers, star or characters is a
way of arranging these in some logical manner or they may form a sequence. Some of
these patterns are triangles which have special importance in mathematics. Some
patterns are symmetrical while other are not. Please see the complete page and look at
comments for many different patterns.

c program for prime number

Prime number program in c: c program for prime number, this code prints prime
numbers using c programming language. To check whether a number is prime or not
see another code below. Prime number logic: a number is prime if it is divisible only by
one and itself. Remember two is the only even and also the smallest prime number.
First few prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17....etc. Prime numbers have many
applications in computer science and mathematics. A number greater than one can be
factorized into prime numbers, For example 540 = 2 2*33*51
Prime number program in c language

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n, i = 3, count, c;

printf("Enter the number of prime numbers required\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

if ( n >= 1 )
{
printf("First %d prime numbers are :\n",n);
printf("2\n");
}

for ( count = 2 ; count <= n ; )
{
for ( c = 2 ; c <= i - 1 ; c++ )
{
if ( i%c == 0 )
break;
}
if ( c == i )
{
printf("%d\n",i);
count++;
}
i++;
}

return 0;
}
There are many logic to check prime numbers, one given below is more efficient then
above method.
for ( c = 2 ; c <= (int)sqrt(n) ; c++ )
//only checking from 2 to square root of number is sufficient.
There are many more efficient logic then written above.
C program for prime number or not

armstrong number c program

armstrong number c program: c programming code to check whether a number is
armstrong or not. A number is armstrong if the sum of cubes of individual digits of a
number is equal to the number itself. For example 371 is an armstrong number as 3 3 +
73 + 13 = 371. Some other armstrong numbers are: 0, 1, 153, 370, 407.
C code
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

main()
{
int number, sum = 0, temp, remainder;


temp = number;

while( temp != 0 )
{
remainder = temp%10;
sum = sum + remainder*remainder*remainder;
temp = temp/10;
}

if ( number == sum )
printf("Entered number is an armstrong number.");
else
printf("Entered number is not an armstrong number.");

getch();
return 0;
}
Output:
c program to swap two numbers

C program to swap two numbers with and without using third variable, swapping in c
using pointers and functions (Call by reference) , swapping means interchanging. For
example if in your c program you have taken two variable a and b where a = 4 and b =
5, then before swapping a = 4, b = 5 after swapping a = 5, b = 4
In our c program to swap numbers we will use a temp variable to swap two numbers.
Swapping is used in sorting that is when we wish to arrange numbers in a particular
order either in ascending order or in descending order.
Swaping of two numbers in c

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

main()
{
int x, y, temp;

printf("Enter the value of x and y ");
scanf("%d%d",&x, &y);

printf("Before Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n",x,y);

temp = x;
x = y;
y = temp;

printf("After Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n",x,y);

getch();
return 0;
}
Swapping of two numbers without third variable
You can also swap two numbers without using temp or temporary or third variable. In
that case c program will be as shown :-
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int a, b;

printf("Enter two numbers to swap ");

a = a + b;
b = a - b;
a = a - b;

printf("a = %d\nb = %d\n",a,b);
return 0;
}
To understand above logic simply choose a as 7 and b as 9 and then do what is written
in program. You can choose any other combination of numbers as well. Sometimes it's
a good way to understand a program.
Swap two numbers using pointers

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int x, y, *a, *b, temp;

printf("Enter the value of x and y ");
scanf("%d%d",&x,&y);

printf("Before Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);

a = &x;
b = &y;

temp = *b;
*b = *a;
*a = temp;

printf("After Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);

return 0;
}
Swapping numbers using call by reference

In this method we will make a function to swap numbers.
#include<stdio.h>

void swap(int*, int*);

main()
{
int x, y;

printf("Enter the value of x and y\n");
scanf("%d%d",&x,&y);

printf("Before Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);

swap(&x, &y);

printf("After Swapping\nx = %d\ny = %d\n", x, y);

return 0;
}

void swap(int *a, int *b)
{
int temp;

temp = *b;
*b = *a;
*a = temp;
}

c program to generate and print armstrong numbers

armstrong number in c: This program prints armstrong number. In our program we ask
the user to enter a number and then we use a loop from one to the entered number and
check if it is an armstrong number and if it is then the number is printed on the screen.
Remember a number is armstrong if the sum of cubes of individual digits of a number is
equal to the number itself. For example 371 is an armstrong number as 3 3 + 73 + 13 =
371. Some other armstrong numbers are 0, 1, 153, 370, 407.

numbers ");
scanf("%ld",&number);
printf("Following armstrong numbers are found from 1 to

%ld\n",number);
for( c =1; c <= number ; c++)
temp = c;
while( temp !=0)
r = temp%10;

linear search in c
Linear search in c programming: The following code implements linear search
( Searching algorithm ) which is used to find whether a given number is present in an
array and if it is present then at what location it occurs.It is also known as sequential
search. It is very simple and works as follows: We keep on comparing each element
with the element to search until the desired element is found or list ends. Linear search
in c language for multiple occurrences and using function.
Linear search c program

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int array[100], search, c, number;

C program for binary search

C program for binary search: This code implements binary search in c language. It can
only be used for sorted arrays, but it's fast as compared to linear search. If you wish to
use binary search on an array which is not sorted then you must sort it using some
sorting technique say merge sort and then use binary search algorithm to find the
desired element in the list. If the element to be searched is found then its position is
printed.
The code below assumes that the input numbers are in ascending order.
C programming code for binary search

c program to insert an element in an array

This code will insert an element into an array, For example consider an array a[10]
having three elements in it initially and a[0] = 1, a[1] = 2 and a[2] = 3 and you want to
insert a number 45 at location 1 i.e. a[0] = 45, so we have to move elements one step
below so after insertion a[1] = 1 which was a[0] initially, and a[2] = 2 and a[3] = 3. Array
insertion does not mean increasing its size i.e array will not be containing 11 elements.

c palindrome program, c program for palindrome

C program for palindrome or palindrome in c programming: palindrome program in c
language, c code to check if a string is a palindrome or not and for palindrome number.
This program works as follows :- at first we copy the entered string into a new string,
and then we reverse the new string and then compares it with original string. If both of
them have same sequence of characters i.e. they are identical then the entered string is
a palindrome otherwise not. To perform copy, reverse and compare operations we use
strcpy, strrev and strcmp functions of string.h respectively, if you do not wish to use
these functions see c programming code for palindrome without using string functions.
Some palindrome strings examples are "dad", "radar", "madam" etc.

remove vowels string c

Remove vowels string c: c program to remove or delete vowels from a string, if the input
string is "c programming" then output will be "c prgrmmng". In the program we create a
new string and process entered string character by character, and if a vowel is found it
is not added to new string otherwise the character is added to new string, after the
string ends we copy the new string into original string. Finally we obtain a string without
any vowels.

Substring in c programming, c substring
Substring in c programming: c programming code to find a substring from a given string
and for all substrings of a string, For example substrings of string "the" are "t", "th",
"the", "h", "he" and "e" to find substring we create our own c substring function which
returns a pointer to string. String address, length of substring required and position from
where to extract substring are the three arguments passed to function. String.h does not
contain any library function to directly find substring.
C substring code
#include<stdio.h>
#include<malloc.h>

char* substring(char*, int, int);

main()
{
char string[100], *pointer;
int position, length;

gets(string);

printf("Enter the position and length of substring\n");
scanf("%d%d",&position, &length);

pointer = substring( string, position, length);

printf("Required substring is \"%s\"\n", pointer);

free(pointer);

return 0;
}

/*C substring function: It returns a pointer to the substring */

char *substring(char *string, int position, int length)
{
char *pointer;
int c;

pointer = malloc(length+1);

{
printf("Unable to allocate memory.\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

c program to find frequency of characters in a string

This program computes frequency of characters in a string i.e. which character is
present how many times in a string. For example in the string "code" each of the
character 'c', 'o', 'd', and 'e' has occurred one time. Only lower case alphabets are
considered, other characters ( uppercase and special characters ) are ignored. You can
easily modify this program to handle uppercase and special symbols.

anagram in c
Anagram in c: c program to check whether two strings are anagrams or not, string is
assumed to consist of alphabets only. Two words are said to be anagrams of each other
if the letters from one word can be rearranged to form the other word. From the above
definition it is clear that two strings are anagrams if all characters in both strings occur
same number of times. For example "abc" and "cab" are anagram strings, here every
character 'a', 'b' and 'c' occur only one time in both strings. Our algorithm tries to find
how many times characters appears in the strings and then comparing their
corresponding counts.

c program to read a file
C program to read a file :- This program reads a file entered by the user and displays it's
contents on the screen, fopen function is used to open a file, it returns a pointer to
structure FILE. FILE is a pre defined structure in stdio.h . If the file is successfully
opened then fopen returns a pointer to file and if it is unable to open a file then it returns
NULL. fgetc function returns a character which is read from the file and fclose function
closes the file. Opening a file means we bring file from disk to ram to perform operations
on it.

c program to merge two files

This c program merges two files and store their contents in an another file. The files
which are to be merged are opened in read mode and the file which contains content of
both the files is opened in write mode. To merge two files first we open a file and read it
character by character and store the read contents in another file then we read the
contents of another file and store it in file, we read two files until EOF ( end of file ) is
reached.
