In this tutorial, i am going to show you how to find or calculate the area of a circle with the help of standard formula, function, and poiter in c programs.
All C Programs and Algorithm to Find the Area of a Circle
- Algorithm To Find Area Of a Circle
- C Programs to Find the Area of a Circle using Formula
- C Programs to Find the Area of a Circle using Function
- C Programs to Find the Area of a Circle using Pointer
Algorithm To Find Area Of a Circle
Use the below given algorithm to write a program to find area of a circle; as follows:
- START PROGRAM.
- TAKE RADIUS AS INPUT FROM USER.
- FIND AREA OF A CIRLCE USING THIS FORMULA AREA=3.14*RADIUS*RADIUS.
- PRINT “AREA OF CIRCLE = “
- END PROGRAM.
C Programs to Find the Area of a Circle using Formula
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int r;
float area;
printf("Please enter radius of the circle: ");
scanf("%d",&r);
area=(22*r*r)/7;
printf("The area of circle is: %f\n",area);
return 0;
}
The output of the above c program; as follows:
Please enter radius of the circle: 15 The area of circle is: 707.000000
C Programs to Find the Area of a Circle using Function
#include<stdio.h>
float area(int r)
{
return (22*r*r)/7;
}
int main()
{
int r;
float a;
printf("Please enter radius of the circle: ");
scanf("%d",&r);
a=area(r);
printf("area of the circle: %f\n",a);
return 0;
}
The output of the above c program; as follows:
Please enter radius of the circle: 5 area of the circle: 78.000000
C Programs to Find the Area of a Circle using Pointer
#include<stdio.h>
void area(int *r,float *a)
{
*a=(22*(*r)*(*r))/7;
}
int main()
{
int r;
float a=1;
printf("Please enter radius of the circle: ");
scanf("%d",&r);
area(&r,&a);
printf("The area of circle is: %f\n",a);
return 0;
}
The output of the above c program; as follows:
Please enter radius of the circle: 7 The area of circle is: 154.000000
