Solution for Exercise 5-5

ex0505

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("The result is %f\n",456.98+213.4);
    return(0);
}

Notes

* The text you supplied for printf() doesn't need to match mine above, but using the %f placeholder is important; both values are floating point, so the result is a float. The %f placeholder must be specified.

* Did you remember to limit the floating point number's output to only two decimal places? If not, fix your code and build again.

* Modify the code so that the output looks like this:

456.98 + 213.40 = 670.38

Edit the printf() statement to achieve that result. Use placeholders instead of immediate values in the formatting string. Click here to see my solution.
