How does a C program to compute quotient and remainder work?

 Courtesy: Programiz.com


In this program, the user is asked to enter two integers (dividend and divisor). They are stored in variables dividend and divisor respectively.

printf("Enter dividend: ");
scanf("%d", &dividend);
printf("Enter divisor: ");
scanf("%d", &divisor);

Then the quotient is evaluated using / (the division operator), and stored in quotient.

quotient = dividend / divisor;

Similarly, the remainder is evaluated using % (the modulo operator) and stored in remainder.

remainder = dividend % divisor;

Finally, the quotient and remainder are displayed using printf().

printf("Quotient = %d\n", quotient);
printf("Remainder = %d", remainder);

C program to read and display book information using structure

Program: #include<stdio.h> struct book {     char title[40];     int pages;     float price;     int ratings; }; int main() {     struct book book1;     printf("Enter Book Title: ");     gets(book1.title);     printf("Enter Book Pages:");     scanf("%d", &book1.pages);     printf("Enter Book Price:");     scanf("%f", &book1.price);     printf("Enter Book Ratings:");     scanf("%d", &book1.ratings);          printf("\nBook using simple structure variable.\n");     printf("Book Title: %s\n", book1.title);     printf("Book Pages: %d\n", book1.pages);     printf("Book Price: %f\n", book1.price);     printf("Book Ratings: %i\n", book1.ratings);  } Output: Enter Book Title: Life of pi Enter Book Pages:401 Enter Book Price:320 Enter Book Ratings:4 Book using simple structure vari...

Function prototype and definition

Function Prototype: A function prototype is also known as a function declaration. A function declaration tells the compiler about a function name and how to call the function. It defines the function before it is being used or called. A function prototype needs to be written at the beginning of the program. Syntax: return-type function-name ( arg-1, arg-2, ... ); Example: void addition( int, int ); Function Definition: A function definition defines the functions header and body. A function header part should be identical to the function prototype. Function return type Function name List of parameters A function body part defines function logic. Function statements Syntax: return-type function-name( arg-1, arg-2, ... ); {         //... function body } Example: void addition( int x, int y) {     printf("Addition is = %d ",(x+y)); } Drafted on 🌏 by, Jal ☮ peace

Actual and Formal Parameters

User-defined Function: User-defined is a function that is not part of a library but is defined by the user itself. Actual Parameters: Values that are passed to the called function from the main function are known as Actual parameters. Actual parameters are also called "Arguments". Formal Parameters: The variables declared in the function prototype or definition are known as Formal parameters. Example: Actual parameters: void main() {      int a=5, b=6;     add(a, b); } Here "a" and "b" are actual parameters in the call add(a, b). Formal parameters: void add( int x, int y) {     printf("Addition is = %d",(x+y)); } Here "x" and "y" are formal parameters in the statement void add( int x, int y). When a method is called, the formal parameter is temporarily "bound" to the actual parameter. Drafted on 🌏 by, Jal ☮ peace
