Divide two integers and print result or "Division not possible"

Write a C program that reads two integers and divides the first number by second, print the result of this division with two digits after the decimal point and prints "Division not possible..!" if the division is not possible.

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main () {
    int n, x, y, i;
    float result = 0;

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

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

    // Check if 'y' is zero (division by zero case)
    if (y == 0) {
        printf("Division not possible..!\n"); // Print an error message
    }
    else {
        // Calculate the result of division as a float value
        result = (x * 1.0) / (y);

        // Print the result with two decimal places
        printf("Result: %.2f\n", result);
    }

    return 0; // End of program
}

Sample Output:

Input two integer values:
75
5
Result: 15.00
