To print a float in C, you can use the %f format specifier in the printf function. The %f specifier is used to format and display floating-point numbers.
Here is an example code that demonstrates how to print a float in C:
#include
Int main() {
Float number = 3.14159;
Printf(“The float number is: %f\n”, number);
Return 0;
}
In this code, we have declared a variable called number of type float and assigned it the value 3.14159. We then use the printf function to print the value of number using the %f format specifier. The \n is used to print a newline character after the value is printed.
When you run this code, the output will be:
The float number is: 3.141590
The %f format specifier is used to print floating-point numbers with six decimal places by default. If you want to print a different number of decimal places, you can specify it in the format specifier.
For example, if you want to print the float number with two decimal places, you can modify the code like this:
#include
Int main() {
Float number = 3.14159;
Printf(“The float number with two decimal places is: %.2f\n”, number);
Return 0;
}
In this modified code, we have added a .2 in the format specifier %.2f to specify that we want to print the float number with two decimal places. The output of this code will be:
The float number with two decimal places is: 3.14
You can change the number after the . to specify a different number of decimal places to be printed.
Printing a float in C is relatively straightforward. You just need to use the %f format specifier in the printf function and specify the desired number of decimal places if necessary.
