5 : C Program to Calculate Area of Square

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



This C Program calculates Area of a Square based on the side of Square entered by the user.

Variables :

1. side : (Datatype int) : to represent the side of square.

2. area : (Datatype int) : to store the result of area of the square being computed.





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 scree. \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.







Formula :

Area of Square : (side)2
