C Basic Declarations and Expressions: Exercise-116 with Solution

Write a C program that accepts a pair of numbers from the user and prints "Ascending order" if the two numbers are in ascending order, otherwise prints, "Descending order".

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main () {
int a, b;
printf("Input two pairs values (integer values):\n");
scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);

if  (a != b)
{

if (b > a)
{

  printf("Ascending order\n");

}
else
{

  printf("Descending order\n");

}
}
}

Sample Output:

Input two pairs values (integer values):
12
35
Ascending order

Sample Output:

Input two pairs values (integer values):
65
25
Descending order

Previous: Write a C program that accepts a pair of numbers from the user and print the sequence from the lowest to highest number. Also, print the average value of the sequence.
Next: Write a C program that read two integers and dividing the first number by second, print the result of this division with two digits after the decimal point and print "Division not possible..!" if the division is not possible.

Static variable inside of a function in C

The scope of variable is where the variable name can be seen. Here, x is visible only inside function foo().

The lifetime of a variable is the period over which it exists. If x were defined without the keyword static, the lifetime would be from the entry into foo() to the return from foo(); so it would be re-initialized to 5 on every call.

The keyword static acts to extend the lifetime of a variable to the lifetime of the programme; e.g. initialization occurs once and once only and then the variable retains its value - whatever it has come to be - over all future calls to foo().
