👁 1,188 Views
💻 Practical Program
📘 Step Learning
In this program we will find out the size of float data type using sizeof operator. Also we will find out the range of floating point datatype.

💻 Program Code

#include"stdio.h"
#include"float.h"

int main() {

   printf("Storage size for float : %d \n", sizeof(float));
   printf("Minimum float positive value: %E\n", FLT_MIN );
   printf("Maximum float positive value: %E\n", FLT_MAX );
   printf("Precision value: %d\n", FLT_DIG );
   
   return 0;
}
                        

🖥 Program Output

Storage size for float : 4
Minimum float positive value: 1.175494E-038
Maximum float positive value: 3.402823E+038
Precision value: 6

Master Programming Through Practical Examples

Improve your coding logic, problem-solving skills and programming confidence by practicing real-world examples with explanations.

🎯 How to learn from this example

First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.

🔥 Practice suggestion

Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
