11 : C Program to Calculate Area of ellipse

Check out the complete list of c-programs : C Program List    



To calculate the area of ellipse you need to know the radius 1 and radius 2 of the eclipse.

Variables :

1. r1 : (Datatype int) : to represent the radius 1 of ellipse.

2. r2 : (Datatype int) : to represent the radius 2 of ellipse.

3. PI : (Datatype float) : static variable to represent constant PI value upto 3 decimal places i.e 3.142

5. area_of_ellipse : (Datatype long) : to store area of ellipse calculated.





Functions :

printf() : is used to display something on the console/screen. Format specifier %d in printf function is used to display a int variable on screen and %ld for long. \n is used to add a newline

scanf() : is used to fetch data inputted by the user on the console/screen using keyboard. %d in scanf is indicates that inputted text is of type int and %ld for long.







Formula :

Volume of Ellipse : π x r1 x r2
