The Volume of The Swimming Pool

[minyoungan]

Hello

i am a newbie here and just started to study c.

Is the source below correct?

I know the maximum number is 4,294,967,295.

but if i input random numbers sometimes it gives me wrong number.

How can i rewrite it better??

Thank you

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int length, width, averagedepth, volume;
    
    printf("Enter the length of the swimming pool: ");
    scanf("%d", &length);
    printf("Enter the width of the swimming pool: ");
    scanf("%d", &width);
    printf("Enter the average depth of the swimming pool: ");
    scanf("%d", &averagedepth);

    volume = length * width * averagedepth;
    
    printf("The volume of the pool is ");
    printf("%d",volume);
    
    return 0;
    
}

you should use the %u instead of %d.

and please use the [code][/code] tag

What about upgrading the data type to unsigned long int? Or even unsigned long long int, if your compiler supports it?

I will keep those in mind.

Thank you!! I use Dev-C++. Does it support unsigned long long int? I upgraded the data type to unsigned long int. It works perfect from 0 to 4,294,967,295. I tried with float but doesn't work at all. Whats wrong with the code below??

#include<stdio.h>

int main() 
{
    float length, width, averagedepth, volume;
    
    printf("Enter the length of the swimming pool: ");
    scanf("%f", &length);
    printf("Enter the width of the swimming pool: ");
    scanf("%f", &width);
    printf("Enter the average depth of the swimming pool: ");
    scanf("%f", &averagedepth);

    volume = length * width * averagedepth;
    
    printf("\nThe volume of the pool is ");
    printf("%f",volume);
    
    return 0;
    
}

What do you mean by "Doesn't work at all"?
