2. Write a C program where you will declare two integer variables, input them using scanf,
and perform the basic arithmetic operations on them.
Sample input Sample output
18 7 18 + 7 = 25
18 – 7 = 11
18 * 7 = 126
18 / 7 = 2
18 % 7 = 4
3. Write a C program where you will declare two floating point variables, input them using
scanf, and perform the basic arithmetic operations on them.
Sample input Sample output
95.401 22.622 95.401 + 22.622 = 118.023
95.401 – 22.622 = 72.779
95.401 * 22.622 = 2158.161422
95.401 / 22.622 = 4.217178
4. Write a C program where you will declare four integer variables (say a, b, c and d), input
them using scanf, and calculate a * b + (a – c) / d + b.
Sample input Sample output
21 15 34 6 21 * 15 + (21 – 34) / 6 + 15 = 327
5. Write a C program where you will declare four floating point variables (say a, b, c and d),
input them using scanf, and calculate (a + b – c) * d – a / d.
Sample input Sample output
2.3 5.8 1.1 3.5 (2.3 + 5.8 – 1.1) * 3.5 – 2.3 / 3.5 =
23.842857
