C Exercises: Check whether two numbers in a pair is in ascending order or descending order

C Basic Declarations and Expressions: Exercise-35 with Solution

Write a C program to check whether two numbers in a pair is in ascending order or descending order.

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
  {
	int x, y, i, total = 0;
    printf("\nInput a pair of numbers (for example 10,2 : 2,10):");
	printf("\nInput first number of the pair: ");
	scanf("%d", &x);
    printf("\nInput second number of the pair: ");
	scanf("%d", &y);
	
	if (x>y)
	  {
	  	printf("The pair is in descending order!");
	  }
	  else
	  {
	  	printf("The pair is in ascending order!");
	  }
	  printf("\n");
} 

Sample Output:

Input a pair of numbers (for example 10,2 : 2,10):                                                   
Input first number of the pair: 10                                                                   
                                                                                                     
Input second number of the pair: 2                                                                   
The pair is in descending order!
