C LANGUAGE
Introduction
 C is a programming language developed at AT&T’s BELL Laboratory of
USA in 1972.
 Dennis Ritchie designed it. Because of its reliability.
 C is very popular.
 C is highly portable & it is well suited for structured programming.
 C program consists of collection of functions.

Turbo C/C++
 Open Turbo C from your Desktop or Programs menu. Select “File” from
Menu bar and select option “New” and Save C program in filename .C
extension.
 To do compiling – Select -> Compile from menu and click-> compile.
 If the compilation is success – you will see a “success” message. Else you
will see the number of errors.
 To RUN the program – you may select ->Run from menu and click -> Run
 Now you will see the output screen.

Ex No 1. Simple programming exercises to familiarize the basic C

1 a) Write a c program to find the area of a triangle having 3 sides.

AIM:
To write a C program to find the area of a triangle having 3 sides.

DESCRIPTION:
A method for calculating the area of a triangle having 3 sides using Heron’s formula
Let a,b,c be the length of the sides of a triangle. Then
Area = √ (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))
Where s=(a+b+c)/2

ALGORITHM:
Step 1: start
Step 2: Declare the variable a, b, c, s, area
Step 3: Get the value of a, b, c
Step 4: Find s value s=(a+b+c)/2
Step 5: Find area = sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))
Step 6: Print the value of area
Step 7: Stop

FLOW CHART:
START

Read a,b,c

s=(a+b+c)/2

area = sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))

PRINT area

2.(a) Write a simple C program to find the total and Average obtained by a
student for 5 subjects.

AIM :
To write a C program to find the total and average obtained by a student for 5
subjects.

ALGORITHM:
Step 1 : Start
Step 2 : Declare the variable m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, total, avg
Step 3 : Get the values of m1, m2, m3, m4, m5
Step 4 : Calculate the total and average values
Step 5 : Print the total and average values
Step 6 : Stop

FLOW CHART:

START

Read m1,m2,m3,
m4, m5

tot=m1+m2+m3+m4+m5

avg=tot/5

PRINT tot, avg

STOP
