Program to find the Smallest of two Numbers

In c programming, it is possible to take numerical input from the user and find the Smallest of two Numbers with the help of a very small amount of code. The C language has many types of header libraries which has supported function in them with the help of these files the programming is easy. But today we will find the Smallest of two Numbers using c programming.

Algorithm:-

With the help of this program, we can find the Smallest of two Numbers.

1. Declaring the variables for the program.

2. Taking the input numbers.

3. Checking the smallest number.

4. Printing the smallest number.

5. End the program.

5. End the program.

Program to find the Smallest of two Numbers:-

#include<stdio.h> 
int main()
{ 
    //declaring variables for the program
    int no1,no2; 
    
    //taking first integer number from the user. 
    printf("Enter first integer number:"); 
    
    //Scanning the input integer 
    scanf("%d",&no1); 
    
    //taking second integer number from the user. 
    printf("Enter second integer number:"); 
    
    //Scanning the input integer 
    scanf("%d",&no2); 
    
    //calculating the smallest of two number 
    if(no1 < no2) 
    { 
        //printing the smallest number first number from the input
        printf("%d is smallest",no1); 
        
    } else 
    { 
        //printing the smallest number second number from the input
        printf("%d is smallest",no2); 
        
    } 
    return 0;
}

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

//declaring variables for the program

int no1,no2;

//taking first integer number from the user.

printf("Enter first integer number:");

//Scanning the input integer

scanf("%d",&no1);

//taking second integer number from the user.

printf("Enter second integer number:");

//Scanning the input integer

scanf("%d",&no2);

//calculating the smallest of two number

if(no1 < no2)

{

//printing the smallest number first number from the input

printf("%d is smallest",no1);

} else

{

//printing the smallest number second number from the input

printf("%d is smallest",no2);

}

return 0;

}

Output:-

In the above program, we have first initialized the required variable.

no1 = it will hold the integer value.

no2 = it will hold the integer value.

Input numbers for the program.

First number

Second Number

Scanning First Number

Scanning Second Number

Program Logic Code in the conditional statement.

Printing output for smallest number.
