In this example, you will learn to generate the multiplication table of a number entered by the user.
To understand this
example, you should have the knowledge of the following C programming topics:
C Programming Operators
C for Loop
The
program below takes an integer input from the user and generates the
multiplication tables up to 10.
Multiplication Table Up
to 10
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int n, i;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
for (i = 1; i <= 10; ++i) {
printf("%d * %d = %d \n", n, i, n * i);
}
return 0;
}
Output
Enter an integer: 9
9 * 1 = 9
9 * 2 = 18
9 * 3 = 27
9 * 4 = 36
9 * 5 = 45
9 * 6 = 54
9 * 7 = 63
9 * 8 = 72
9 * 9 = 81
9 * 10 = 90
Here, the user input is stored in the int
variable n.
Then, we use a for
loop
to print the multiplication table up to 10.
for
(i = 1; i <= 10; ++i) {
printf("%d * %d = %d \n", n, i, n *
i);
}
The loop runs from i =
1
to i = 10
. In
each iteration of the loop, n * i
is
printed.
Here's a little modification of the above program to generate the
multiplication table up to a range (where range is also a positive
integer entered by the user).
Multiplication Table Up to a range
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int n, i, range;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
// prompt user for positive range
do {
printf("Enter the range (positive integer): ");
scanf("%d", &range);
} while (range <= 0);
for (i = 1; i <= range; ++i) {
printf("%d * %d = %d \n", n, i, n * i);
}
return 0;
}
Output
Enter an integer: 12
Enter the range (positive integer): -8
Enter the range (positive integer): 8
12 * 1 = 12
12 * 2 = 24
12 * 3 = 36
12 * 4 = 48
12 * 5 = 60
12 * 6 = 72
12 * 7 = 84
12 * 8 = 96
Here, we have used a do...while
loop to prompt the user for a
positive range.
// prompt user for positive range
do {
printf("Enter the range (positive integer): ");
scanf("%d", &range);
} while (range <= 0);
If the value of range is negative, the loop
iterates again to ask the user to enter a positive number. Once a positive
range has been entered, we print the multiplication table.
