CAT 1 Submission

The document describes three main types of constants: integer constants, floating constants, and character constants. It defines a literal as a fixed value in code and outlines two rules for naming variables in C programming. Additionally, it provides a sample program that calculates the area and circumference of a circle based on user input for the radius, using a defined constant for PI.

A.

Briefly describe the three main types of constants

Integer Constants-numbers without any fraction or decimal points

Floating constants- represent numbers with decimal points or written in scientific notation

Character constants-single characters enclosed in single quotes

B. Rewrite the following sample while using a while loop

C. Define the term literal

A literal is a fixed value directly written in the code representing constant data

D. State two rules followed in the naming of variables in C programming

Begin with a letter or underscore, a variable cannot start with a digit

No special spaces or characters, variable names can only include digits, letters and underscore
E. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the radius of a circle.The program should then
compute both area and circumference of a circle. PI should be declared as a constant

#include <stdio.h>

// Define PI as a constant
#define PI 3.14159

int main() {
float radius, area, circumference;

// Prompt the user to enter the radius of the circle


printf("Enter the radius of the circle: ");
scanf("%f", &radius);

// Calculate the area and circumference


area = PI * (radius * radius);
circumference = 2 * PI * radius;

// Display the results


printf("The area of the circle is: %.2f\n", area);
printf("The circumference of the circle is: %.2f\n", circumference);

return 0;
