  • Question
  • What will be the output of the program?
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<math.h>
    int main()
    {
        float n=1.54;
        printf("%f, %f\n", ceil(n), floor(n));
        return 0;
    }
    


  • Options
  • A. 2.000000, 1.000000
  • B. 1.500000, 1.500000
  • C. 1.550000, 2.000000
  • D. 1.000000, 2.000000

  • Correct Answer
  • 2.000000, 1.000000 

    Explanation
    ceil(x) round up the given value. It finds the smallest integer not < x.
    floor(x) round down the given value. It finds the smallest integer not > x.

    printf("%f, %f\n", ceil(n), floor(n)); In this line ceil(1.54) round up the 1.54 to 2 and floor(1.54) round down the 1.54 to 1.

    In the printf("%f, %f\n", ceil(n), floor(n)); statement, the format specifier "%f %f" tells output to be float value. Hence it prints 2.000000 and 1.000000.
