C Program to Calculate the Compound Interest

In this video tutorial lets learn how we can calculate Compound Interest by making use of simple arithmetic operations.

 
#include < stdio.h >
#include < math.h >

int main()
{
    int p, t;
    float r, ci;

    printf("Enter principal amount\n");
    scanf("%d", &p);

    printf("Enter rate of interest\n");
    scanf("%f", &r);

    printf("Enter time period\n");
    scanf("%d", &t);


    ci = p * pow( (1 + r / 100), t );

    printf("Compound Interest is %f\n", ci);

    return 0;
}

Output:
Enter principal amount
1000
Enter rate of interest
8.5
Enter time period
3
Compound Interest is 1277.289185

Note: Since we’re using pow() method, we need to include math.h library file.

In this program we take input for Principal amount, rate of interest and time period from the user, and then calculate Compound Interest for those values.

Compound Interest Logic




We make use of arithmetic operations available in C programming language and convert this formula to calculate Compound Interest.

Compound_Interest = Principal_amount * pow( (1 + r / 100), t );

This gives us Compound Interest and we output the result to the console.

Formula for calculating Compound Interest

p – Principal amount.
r – Rate of interest.
t – Time period.
ci – Compound Interest.

Yearly Compound Interest Formula
Compound_Interest = Principal_amount * pow( (1 + r / 100), t );

Half-Yearly Compound Interest Formula
Compound_Interest = Principal_amount * pow( (1 + (r/2) / 100), 2 * t );

Quarterly Compound Interest Formula
Compound_Interest = Principal_amount * pow( (1 + (r/4) / 100), 4 * t );

Monthly Compound Interest Formula
Compound_Interest = Principal_amount * pow( (1 + (r/12) / 100), 12 * t );

C Program to Calculate the Simple Interest

In this video tutorial lets learn how we can calculate Simple Interest by making use of simple arithmetic operations.

 
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{

    float r, si;

    printf("Enter principal amount\n");
    scanf("%d", &p);

    printf("Enter Rate of interest\n");
    scanf("%f", &r);

    printf("Enter time period\n");
    scanf("%d", &t);

    si = (p * t * r) / 100.0;

    printf("Simple Interest is %f\n", si);

    return 0;
}

Output:
Enter principal amount
1000
Enter Rate of interest

#include < stdio.h >

int main()
{
    float radius;
    const float PI = 3.14;

    printf("Enter the value for radius \n");
    scanf("%f", &radius);

    printf("Area of the circle is %f\n", (PI * radius * radius));

    return 0;
}

Output:
Enter the value for radius
5.0
Area of the circle is 78.500003

Whenever we declare and initialize a constant, its a convention to make use of capital letter variable. That way we can easily spot and identify a constant in our program. And as we already know, value of constant can not be changed through out the program execution.
Ex: const float PI = 3.14;

Formula for calculating Area of a circle


area of circle

Formula for calculating Area of a circle is PI * radius * radius. We take value of radius from user and using above formula calculate area of the circle and output result to the console window.

Note that we’ve not used math.h library and any of its methods/functions in our program.

Swapping 2 Numbers In C using only Multiplication and Division: Logic

In our above program we are asking user to enter integer value for a and b.
If the user enters 10 and 5 for a and b respectively. Then our program executes below logic to swap the values of variable a and b.

Step 1: Multiply values of a and b and store it in variable a.
i.e.,
a = a * b;
50= 10 * 5;
So a = 50;

Step 2: Now divide value of b from value of a and store it in variable b.
i.e.,
b = a / b;
10= 50 / 5; (value of a = 50 according to Step 1)
So value of variable b is now 10.

Step 3: Now divide value of b from value of a and store it in variable a.
i.e.,
a = a / b;
5= 50 / 10; (Value of a = 50 from Step 1, and Value of b = 10 from Step 2)
Now the value of a = 5;

Finally value of a = 5(from step 3) and value of b = 10(from step 2).

This is how we swap the value of variable a and b by just making use of multiplication and division in C programming language.

Swapping 2 Numbers In C using only addition and subtraction: Logic

In our above program we are asking user to enter integer value for a and b.
If the user enters 30 and 20 for a and b respectively. Then our program executes below logic to swap the values of variable a and b.

Step 1: Add values of a and b and store it in variable a.
i.e.,
a = a + b;
50 = 30 + 20;
So a = 50;

Step 2: Now subtract value of b from value of a and store it in variable b.
i.e.,
b = a – b;
30= 50 – 20; (value of a = 50 according to Step 1)
So value of variable b is now 30.

Step 3: Now subtract value of b from value of a and store it in variable a.
i.e.,
a = a – b;
20= 50 – 30; (Value of a = 50 from Step 1, and Value of b = 30 from Step 2)

Finally value of a = 20(from step 3) and value of b = 30(from step 2).

This is how we swap the value of variable a and b by just making use of addition and subtraction in C programming language.
