Explanation of the Subtraction Program
This C program takes two numbers from the user and performs subtraction. It subtracts the second number from the first number and stores the result in a variable named sum.
The program uses basic input functions to read numbers and simple arithmetic to calculate the result. It is a straightforward example for beginners learning how to work with variables and operators in C.
What the Program Does
- Prompts the user to enter the first number (num1).
- Prompts the user to enter the second number (num2).
- Subtracts the second number from the first using sum = num1 - num2;.
- Displays the final result on the screen.
- Uses clrscr() to clear the screen (Turbo C function).
- Uses getch() to pause the output window.
Example Input
Enter first number: 15
Enter second number: 7
Enter second number: 7
Example Output
The result is: 8
Summary:
This program performs a simple subtraction of two user-entered numbers.
It demonstrates the use of variables, arithmetic operations, scanf(), printf(), and Turbo C screen control functions.
