Last update on December 20 2024 13:01:20 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Check if two integers are in ascending or descending order

Write a C program that accepts a pair of numbers from the user and prints "Ascending order" if the two numbers are in ascending order, otherwise prints, "Descending order".

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main () {
    int a, b;

    // Prompt user for input
    printf("Input two pairs values (integer values):\n");

    // Read two integer values from user and store them in 'a' and 'b'
    scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);

    // Check if 'a' is not equal to 'b'
    if  (a != b) {

        // Check if 'b' is greater than 'a'
        if (b > a) {
            printf("Ascending order\n"); // Print message for ascending order
        }
        else {
            printf("Descending order\n"); // Print message for descending order
        }
    }

    return 0; // End of program
}

Sample Output:

Input two pairs values (integer values):
12
35
Ascending order

Sample Output:

Input two pairs values (integer values):
65
25
Descending order

Previous: Write a C program that accepts a pair of numbers from the user and print the sequence from the lowest to highest number. Also, print the average value of the sequence.
Next: Write a C program that read two integers and dividing the first number by second, print the result of this division with two digits after the decimal point and print "Division not possible..!" if the division is not possible.
