16 : C Program to Calculate Surface area of Cube

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



To calculate surface area of cube you need to know the side of the cube

Variables :

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

2. surface_area_of_cube : (Datatype long) : to store volume of Surface area of cube.





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 %f for float. \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 %f for float.







Formula :

Surface Area of a Cube : 6 x side3

 Enter the Side of Cube : 

 Surface area of Cude with side as 3 = 54
