 List of C Programs
1)C hello world program :- c programming language code to print hello world. This program prints
hello world, printf function is used to display text on screen, '\n' places cursor on the beginning of next line, stdio.h header
file contains declaration of printf function. The code will work on all operating systems may be it's Linux, Mac or any other
and compilers. To learn a programming language you must start writing programs in it and may be your first c code while
learning programming.

C hello world example

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello
world\n"); return 0;
}

Hello world program in c

We may store "hello world" in a character array and then
print it. #include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
char string[] = "Hello World";

printf("%s\n", string);

return 0;
}

Hello world program.

2)C program print integer

This c program first inputs an integer and then prints it. Input is done using scanf function and number is printed on screen using
printf.

C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int a;

printf("Enter an integer\n");
scanf("%d", &a);

printf("Integer that you have entered is %d\n", a);

return 0;
}
Output of program:

3) C program to add two numbers

C program to add two numbers: This c language program perform the basic arithmetic operation of addition on two
numbers and then prints the sum on the screen. For example if the user entered two numbers as 5, 6 then 11 ( 5 + 6
) will be printed on the screen.

C programming code
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int a, b, c;

printf("Enter two numbers to

add\n"); scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);

c = a + b;

printf("Sum of entered numbers = %d\n",c);

return 0;
}

Add numbers program executable.

Output of program

Addition without using third variable

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int a = 1, b = 2;

/* Storing result of addition in variable a */

a = a + b;

/* Not recommended because original value of a is lost

* and you may be using it some where in code considering it
* as it was entered by the user.
*/

printf("Sum of a and b = %d\n", a);

return 0;
}

C program to add two numbers repeatedly

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int a, b,
c; char
ch;

while(1)
{
printf("Enter values of a and
b\n"); scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);

c = a + b;

printf("a + b = %d\n", c);

printf("Do you wish to add more

numbers(y/n)\n"); scanf(" %c",&ch);

if ( ch == 'y' || ch ==
'Y' ) continue;
else
break;
}

return 0;
}

Adding numbers in c using function

We have used long data type as it can handle large numbers.

#include<stdio.h>

long addition(long, long);

main()
{
long first, second, sum;

scanf("%ld%ld", &first,

&second); sum = addition(first,

second); printf("%ld\n", sum);

return 0;
}

long addition(long a, long b)

{
long result;
result = a + b;

return result;
}

4) C program to check odd or even

c program to check odd or even: We will determine whether a number is odd or even by using different methods all are provided with a code in
c language. As you have study in mathematics that in decimal number system even numbers are divisible by 2 while odd are not so we may use
modulus operator(%) which returns remainder, For example 4%3 gives 1 ( remainder when four is divided by three). Even numbers are of the
form 2*p and odd are of the form (2*p+1) where p is is an integer.

We can use bitwise AND (&) operator to check odd or even, as an example consider binary of 7 (0111) when we perform 7 & 1 the result will
be one and you may observe that the least significant bit of every odd number is 1, so ( odd_number & 1 ) will be one always and also (
even_number & 1 ) is zero.
In c programming language when we divide two integers we get an integer result, For example the result of 7/3 will be 2.So we can take
advantage of this and may use it to find whether the number is odd or even. Consider an integer n we can first divide by 2 and then multiply it
by 2 if the result is the original number then the number is even otherwise the number is odd. For example 11/2 = 5, 5*2 = 10 ( which is not
equal to
eleven), now consider 12/2 = 6 and 6 *2 = 12 ( same as original number). These are some logic which may help you in finding if a number
is odd or not.

C program to check odd or even using modulus operator

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n;

printf("Enter an
integer\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

if ( n%2 == 0 )

printf("Even\n" );

else printf("Odd\n"

);

return 0;
}

C program to check odd or even using bitwise operator

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n;

printf("Enter an
integer\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

if ( n & 1 == 1 )

printf("Odd\n" );

else printf("Even\n"

);

return 0;
}

C program to check odd or even without using bitwise or modulus operator

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n;

printf("Enter an
integer\n");
scanf("%d",&n);
 if ( (n/2)*2 == n )

printf("Even\n" );

else printf("Odd\n"

);

return 0;
}

Find odd or even using conditional operator

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n;

printf("Enter an
integer\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

n%2 == 0 ? printf("Even number\n") : printf("Odd number\n");

return 0;
}

5) C program to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication

and division
C program to perform basic arithmetic operations i.e. addition , subtraction, multiplication and division of two
numbers. Numbers are assumed to be integers and will be entered by the user.

C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int first, second, add, subtract,
multiply; float divide;

printf("Enter two integers\n");

scanf("%d%d", &first, &second);
add = first + second;
subtract = first - second;
multiply = first * second;
divide = first / (float)second; //typecasting

printf("Sum = %d\n",add);
printf("Difference = %d\n",subtract);
printf("Multiplication = %d\n",multiply);
printf("Division = %.2f\n",divide);
 return 0;
}
In c language when we divide two integers we get integer result for example 5/2 evaluates to 2. As a general rule integer/integer
= integer and float/integer = float or integer/float = float. So we convert denominator to float in our program, you may also
write float in numerator. This explicit conversion is known as typecasting.
Arithmetic operations.

Output of program:

6) C program to check whether input alphabet is a vowel or not

This code checks whether an input alphabet is a vowel or not. Both lower-case and upper-case are checked.

C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

char ch;

printf("Enter a character\n");

scanf("%c", &ch);

if (ch == 'a' || ch == 'A' || ch == 'e' || ch == 'E' || ch == 'i' || ch == 'I' || ch =='o' || ch=='O' || ch == 'u' || ch == 'U')

printf("%c is a vowel.\n", ch);

else

printf("%c is not a vowel.\n", ch);

return 0;

}
Output:

Check vowel using switch statement

#include

<stdio.h> main()

char ch;

printf("Enter a haracter\n");

scanf("%c", &ch);

switch(ch)

case 'a':

case 'A':

case 'e':

case 'E':

case 'i':

case 'I':

case 'o':

case 'O':

case 'u':

case 'U':

printf("%c is a vowel.\n", ch);

break;

default:

printf("%c is not a vowel.\n", ch);

return 0;
}

Function to check vowel

int check_vowel(char a)

if (a >= 'A' && a <= 'Z')

a = a + 'a' - 'A'; /* Converting to lower case or use a = a + 32 */

if (a == 'a' || a == 'e' || a == 'i' || a == 'o' || a == 'u')

return 1;

return 0;

7) c program to check leap year

c program to check leap year: c code to check leap year, year will be entered by the user. Please read the
leap year article before reading the code, it will help you to understand the program.

C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int year;

printf("Enter a year to check if it is a leap

year\n"); scanf("%d", &year);

if ( year%400 == 0) printf("%d
is a leap year.\n",
year); else if ( year%100 == 0) printf("%d
is not a leap year.\n", year);
else if ( year%4 == 0 )
printf("%d is a leap year.\n",
year); else
printf("%d is not a leap year.\n", year);

return 0;
}
Compiler
used: GCC
Output of program:
8) Add digits of number in c
C program to add digits of a number: Here we are using modulus operator(%) to extract individual digits of number and
adding them.

C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
int n, sum = 0, remainder;

printf("Enter an
integer\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

while(n != 0)
{
remainder = n %
10; sum = sum +
remainder; n = n /
10;
}

printf("Sum of digits of entered number = %d\n",sum);

return 0;
}
For example if the input is 98, sum(variable) is 0 initially
98%10 = 8 (% is modulus operator which gives us remainder when 98 is divided
by 10). sum = sum + remainder
so sum = 8 now.
98/10 = 9 because in c whenever we divide integer by another integer we get
an integer. 9%10 = 9
sum = 8(previous value)
+ 9 sum = 17
9/10 = 0.
So finally n = 0, loop ends we get the required sum.

Output of program:
Add digits using recursion
#include <stdio.h>

int add_digits(int);

int main() { int n, result;

scanf("%d", &n);

result = add_digits(n);

printf("%d\n", result);

return 0;
}

int add_digits(int
n) { static int
sum = 0;

if (n ==
0) {
return
0;
}

sum = n%10 + add_digits(n/10);

return sum;

9) Factorial program in c
Factorial program in c: c code to find and print factorial of a number, three methods are given, first one uses a for loop,
second uses a function to find factorial and third using recursion. Factorial is represented using !, so five factorial will be
written as 5!, n factorial as n!. Also n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)...3.2.1 and zero factorial is defined as one i.e. 0!=1.

Factorial program in c using for loop

: Here we find factorial using for loop.

#include<stdio.h>
Void main()
{
int i,f,n;
f=1;
printf(“enter a number”);
scanf(“%d”,&n);
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
{
f=f*i;
}
printf(“Factorial is
%d”,f); getch();

}

return 0;
}

long factorial(int n)
{
if (n == 0) return 1; else
return(n * factorial(n-1));
}
10) C program to add n numbers
This c program add n numbers which will be entered by the user. Firstly user will enter a number
indicating how many numbers user wishes to add and then user will enter n numbers. In the first c program
to add numbers we are not using an array, and using array in the second code.

C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int n, sum = 0, c, value;

printf("Enter the number of integers you want

to add\n"); scanf("%d", &n);

printf("Enter %d integers\n",n);

for (c = 1; c <= n; c++)

{
scanf("%d",&valu
e); sum = sum +
value;
}

printf("Sum of entered integers = %d\n",sum);

return 0;
}
Output of program:

11) C program to reverse a number

C Program to reverse a number :- This program reverse the number entered by the user and then prints the reversed number
on the screen. For example if user enter 123 as input then 321 is printed as output. In our program we use modulus(%)
operator to obtain the digits of a number. To invert number look at it and write it from opposite direction or the output of
code is a number obtained by writing original number from right to left. To reverse large numbers use long data type or long
long data type if your compiler supports it, if you still have large numbers then use strings or other data structure.

C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
int n, reverse = 0;

printf("Enter a number to
reverse\n"); scanf("%d",&n);

while (n != 0)
{
reverse = reverse *
10; reverse =
reverse + n%10; n
= n/10;
}

printf("Reverse of entered number is = %d\n", reverse);

return 0;
}
Output of program:

12) Palindrome Numbers

Palindrome number in c: A palindrome number is a number such that if we reverse it, it will not change. For example some
palindrome numbers examples are 121, 212, 12321, -454. To check whether a number is palindrome or not first we reverse
it and then compare the number obtained with the original, if both are same then number is palindrome otherwise not. C
program for palindrome number is given below.

Palindrome number algorithm

1. Get the number from user.
2. Reverse it.
3. Compare it with the number entered by the user.
4. If both are same then print palindrome number
5. Else print not a palindrome number.

Palindrome number program c

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n, reverse = 0, temp;

printf("Enter a number to check if it is a palindrome

or not\n"); scanf("%d",&n);

temp = n;

while( temp != 0 )

{
reverse = reverse *
10; reverse = reverse
+ temp%10; temp =
temp/10;
 }

if ( n == reverse ) printf("%d
is a palindrome
number.\n", n); else
printf("%d is not a palindrome number.\n", n);

return 0;
}

13) C program to print diamond pattern

Diamond pattern in c: This code print diamond pattern of stars. Diamond shape is as follows:

for (c = 1; c <= space; c++) printf(" ");

space++;

for (c = 1 ; c <= 2*(n-k)-1; c++)

printf("*");
 printf("\n");
}

return 0;
}

14) C program for prime number

Prime number program in c: c program for prime number, this code prints prime numbers using c programming language.
To check whether a number is prime or not see another code below. Prime number logic: a number is prime if it is divisible
only by one and itself. Remember two is the only even and also the smallest prime number. First few prime numbers are 2,
3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17....etc. Prime numbers have many applications in computer science and mathematics. A number greater
2 3 1
than one can be factorized into prime numbers, For example 540 = 2 *3 *5

Prime number program in c language

C program for prime number or not
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int n, c = 2;

printf("Enter a number to check if it is prime\n"); scanf("%d",&n);

for ( c = 2 ; c <= n - 1 ; c++ )

{

{
printf("%d is not prime.\n", n); break;
}
}
if ( c == n )
printf("%d is prime.\n", n);

return 0;
}

{
if ( a%c == 0 ) return 0;
}
if ( c == a )

return 1;
}

15) C program to generate and print armstrong numbers

armstrong number in c: This program prints armstrong number. In our program we ask the user to enter a number
and then we use a loop from one to the entered number and check if it is an armstrong number and if it is then the
number is printed on the screen. Remember a number is armstrong if the sum of cubes of individual
3 3 3
digits of a number is equal to the number itself. For example 371 is an armstrong number as 3 + 7 + 1 =
371. Some other armstrong numbers are 0, 1, 153, 370, 407.

C code
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

main()
{
int r;
long number = 0, c, sum = 0, temp;

printf("Enter the maximum range upto which you want to find armstrong
numbers "); scanf("%ld",&number);

printf("Following armstrong numbers are found from 1 to %ld\n",number);

for( c = 1 ; c <= number ; c++ )

{
temp = c;
while( temp != 0 )
{
r = temp%10;
sum = sum +
r*r*r; temp =
temp/10;

 printf("%ld\n",
c);
sum = 0;
}
 getc
h() ;
retur
n 0;
}

16) Fibonacci series in c

Fibonacci series in c programming: c program for Fibonacci series without and with recursion. Using the
code below you can print as many number of terms of series as desired. Numbers of Fibonacci sequence are
known as Fibonacci numbers. First few numbers of series are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 etc, Except first two terms in
sequence every other term is the sum of two previous terms, For example 8 = 3 + 5 (addition of 3, 5). This
sequence has many applications in mathematics and Computer Science.

Fibonacci series in c using for loop

/* Fibonacci Series c language */
#include<stdio.h>

next = first +
second; first =
second;
second = next;
}
printf("%d\n",next);
}

return 0;
}

17) Linear search in c
Linear search in c programming: The following code implements linear search ( Searching algorithm ) which is used to find

whether a given number is present in an array and if it is present then at what location it occurs.It is also known as sequential
search. It is very simple and works as follows: We keep on comparing each element with the element to search until the desired
element is found or list ends. Linear search in c language for multiple occurrences and using function.

Linear search c program

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int array[100], search, c, n;

printf("Enter the number of elements in

array\n"); scanf("%d",&n);

printf("Enter %d integer(s)\n", n);

for (c = 0; c < n; c++)

scanf("%d", &array[c]);

printf("Enter the number to

search\n"); scanf("%d", &search);

for (c = 0; c < n; c++)

{
if (array[c] == search) /* if required element found */
{
printf("%d is present at location %d.\n", search,
c+1); break;
}
}
if (c == n)
printf("%d is not present in array.\n", search);

}
18) C program for binary search
C program for binary search: This code implements binary search in c language. It can only be used for sorted arrays, but it's
fast as compared to linear search. If you wish to use binary search on an array which is not sorted then you must sort it using
some sorting technique say merge sort and then use binary search algorithm to find the desired element in the list. If the
element to be searched is found then its position is printed.

The code below assumes that the input numbers are in ascending order.

C programming code for binary search

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int c, first, last, middle, n, search, array[100];

printf("Enter number of
elements\n"); scanf("%d",&n);

printf("Enter %d integers\n", n);

for ( c = 0 ; c < n ;

0; last
=n-
1;
middle = (first+last)/2;

while( first <= last )

if ( array[middle]
< search ) first =
middle + 1;
else if ( array[middle] == search )
{
printf("%d found at location %d.\n", search,
middle+1); break;
}
else
last = middle - 1;

middle = (first + last)/2;

}
if ( first > last )
printf("Not found! %d is not present in the list.\n", search);

return 0;
}

19) Insertion sort in c

Insertion sort in c: c program for insertion sort to sort numbers. This code implements insertion sort algorithm
to arrange numbers of an array in ascending order. With a little modification it will arrange numbers in
descending order.

Insertion sort algorithm implementation in c

/* insertion sort ascending order */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int n, array[1000], c, d, t;

printf("Enter number of

array[d] = array[d-1];
 array[d-1] = t;

d--;
}
}

for (c = 0; c <= n - 1; c++) {

printf("%d\n", array[c]);
}

return 0;
}

20) C program to add two matrix

This c program add two matrices i.e. compute the sum of two matrices and then print it. Firstly user will be asked to enter
the order of matrix ( number of rows and columns ) and then two matrices. For example if the user entered order as 2, 2 i.e.
two rows and two columns and matrices as
First Matrix :-
1234
Second matrix :-
45

-
1

then output of the program ( sum of First and Second matrix ) will
be 5 7 2 9

C programming code
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
int m, n, c, d, first[10][10], second[10][10], sum[10][10];

printf("Enter the number of rows and columns

of matrix "); scanf("%d%d", &m, &n);

21) c program to transpose a matrix

This c program prints transpose of a matrix. It is obtained by interchanging rows and columns of a matrix.
For example if a matrix is
12
34
56
then transpose of above matrix will be
135
246
When we transpose a matrix then the order of matrix changes, but for a square matrix order remains same.

C programming code
#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
int m, n, c, d, matrix[10][10], transpose[10][10];

printf("Enter the number of rows and columns of matrix

22) C program to compare two strings

This c program compares two strings using strcmp, without strcmp and using pointers. For comparing strings without using
library function see another code below.

C program to compare two strings using strcmp

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

main()
{
char a[100], b[100];

printf("Enter the first

string\n"); gets(a);

printf("Enter the second string\n");

gets(b);

if( strcmp(a,b) == 0 )
printf("Entered strings are
equal.\n"); else
printf("Entered strings are not equal.\n");

return 0;
}

C program to compare two strings without using strcmp

Here we create our own function to compare strings.

int compare(char a[], char b[])

{
int c = 0;

while( a[c] == b[c] )

{
if( a[c] == '\0' || b[c] == '\0' )
break;
c++;
}
if( a[c] == '\0' && b[c] == '\0' )
return 0;
else
return -1;
}

C program to compare two strings using pointers

In this method we will make our own function to perform string comparison, we will use character pointers in our function
to manipulate string.

#include<stdio.h>

int compare_string(char*, char*);

main()
{
char first[100], second[100], result;

printf("Enter first
string\n"); gets(first);

printf("Enter second
string\n"); gets(second);

result = compare_string(first, second);

if ( result == 0 )
printf("Both strings are
same.\n"); else
printf("Entered strings are not equal.\n");

return 0;
}

int compare_string(char *first, char *second)

{
while(*first==*second)
{
if ( *first == '\0' || *second
== '\0' ) break;

first++;
second++;
}
if( *first == '\0' && *second
== '\0' ) return 0;
else
return -1;
}

23) C program to concatenate strings

This program concatenates strings, for example if the first string is "c " and second string is "program" then on
concatenating these two strings we get the string "c program". To concatenate two strings we use strcat function of string.h,
to concatenate without using library function see another code below which uses pointers.

C code
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>

main()
{
char a[100], b[100];
printf("Enter the first
string\n"); gets(a);

printf("Enter the second

 string\n"); gets(b);

strcat(a,b);

printf("String obtained on concatenation is %s\n",a);

String concatenation.

Output:

String concatenation without strcat

#include<stdio.h>

void concatenate_string(char*, char*);

main()
{
char original[100], add[100];

printf("Enter source
string\n"); gets(original);

printf("Enter string to
concatenate\n"); gets(add);

concatenate_string(original, add);

printf("String after concatenation is \"%s\"\n", original);

return 0;
}

void concatenate_string(char *original, char *add)

{
while(*original)
original++;

while(*add)
{
*original =
*add;
add++;
original++;
}
*original = '\0';
}

24) C program to read a File

C program to read a file: This program reads a file entered by the user and displays its contents on the screen, fopen function
is used to open a file it returns a pointer to structure FILE. FILE is a predefined structure in stdio.h . If the file is
successfully opened then fopen returns a pointer to file and if it is unable to open a file then it returns NULL. fgetc function
returns a character which is read from the file and fclose function closes the file. Opening a file means we bring file from
disk to ram to perform operations on it. The file must be present in the directory in which the executable file of this code sis
present.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
char ch, file_name[25];
FILE *fp;

printf("Enter the name of file you wish to

see\n"); gets(file_name);

fp = fopen(file_name,"r"); // read mode

if( fp == NULL )
{
perror("Error while opening the
file.\n"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

printf("The contents of %s file are :\n", file_name);

while( ( ch = fgetc(fp) ) != EOF

) printf("%c",ch);

fclose(fp);
return 0;
}

Output of program:
25) C program for copy a file
C program to copy files: This program copies a file, firstly you will specify the file to copy and
then you will enter the name of target file, You will have to mention the extension of file also.
We will open the file that we wish to copy in read mode and target file in write mode.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
char ch, source_file[20],
target_file[20]; FILE *source, *target;

printf("Enter name of file to

copy\n"); gets(source_file);

source = fopen(source_file, "r");

if( source == NULL )

{
printf("Press any key to
exit...\n"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

printf("Enter name of target

file\n"); gets(target_file);

target = fopen(target_file, "w");

if( target == NULL )

{
fclose(source);
printf("Press any key to
exit...\n"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

while( ( ch = fgetc(source) ) != EOF

) fputc(ch, target);

printf("File copied successfully.\n");

fclose(source);
fclose(target);

return 0;
}
Output:-
