What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h> int main() { float d=2.25; printf("%e,", d); printf("%f,", d); printf("%g,", d); printf("%lf", d); return 0; }
Options- A. 2.2, 2.50, 2.50, 2.5
- B. 2.2e, 2.25f, 2.00, 2.25
- C. 2.250000e+000, 2.250000, 2.25, 2.250000
- D. Error
- Correct Answer
- 2.250000e+000, 2.250000, 2.25, 2.250000
Explanationprintf("%e,", d); Here '%e' specifies the "Scientific Notation" format. So, it prints the 2.25 as 2.250000e+000.printf("%f,", d); Here '%f' specifies the "Decimal Floating Point" format. So, it prints the 2.25 as 2.250000.
printf("%g,", d); Here '%g' "Use the shorter of %e or %f". So, it prints the 2.25 as 2.25.
printf("%lf,", d); Here '%lf' specifies the "Long Double" format. So, it prints the 2.25 as 2.250000.
