DEMO-C-32 • Programming in C

Browser-only practice

Problem Statement

Write a C program that calculates the area of a rectangle. The program should read the length and width of a rectangle from standard input and output the area.

The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula: Area = length × width

Example: If the length is 5.5 and the width is 3.2, the area would be 17.6.

Constraints

Both length and width will be positive floating-point numbers Both values will be less than 1000.0 No loops or conditional statements are allowed Only scanf and printf functions should be used

Input Format

Two floating-point numbers on a single line, separated by a space.

  • The first number represents the length of the rectangle
  • The second number represents the width of the rectangle

Output Format

A single floating-point number representing the area of the rectangle.

The output should be printed with exactly one decimal place.
