Calculate the average of marks from 5 subjects

Write a C program that reads five subject marks (0-100) of a student and calculates the average of these marks.

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main () {
    float marks, tot_marks = 0;
    int i = 0, subject = 0;

    // Prompt user for input
    printf("Input five subject marks(0-100):\n");

    // Loop to read marks for five subjects
    while (subject != 5) {

        // Read a float value 'marks' from user
        scanf("%f", &marks);

        // Check if 'marks' is within valid range (0-100)
        if (marks < 0 || marks > 100) {
            printf("Not a valid marks\n"); // Print an error message
        }
        else {
            tot_marks += marks; // Accumulate valid marks
            subject++; // Increment subject count
        }
    }

    // Calculate and print the average marks
    printf("Average marks = %.2f\n", tot_marks/5);

    return 0; // End of program
}

Sample Output:

Input five subject marks(0-100):
75
84
56
98
68
Average marks = 76.20
