Solution for Exercise 6-13

ex0613

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    float a,b,c;

    a = 15.5;
    b = 3.2;
    c = a / b;
    printf("Variable c=%f\n",c);
    return(0);
}

Notes

* The transition from Exercise 6-12 to this exercise is rather simple, just a few edits.

* You can specify any floating point values for variables a and b; they don't have to match what I wrote above.

* Math is done on the right side of the equation in C. The following statement is incorrect:

a / b = c;

Don't do that.

* Remember that a floating point number must contain a decimal point! if you want to specify the value .5 you need to write it as 0.5. Similarly, when specifying a whole number as a floating point value, write the decimal and a zero, such as 15.0 for the value 15.
