1. Determine, as best you can, the purpose of each of the following C programs. Identify all
variables within each program. Identify all input and output statements, all assignment
statements, and any other special features that you recognize.
int smaller ( int a, int b);
main( )
{
int a, b, min;
printf ( "Please enter the first number: " ) ;
scanf ("%d" , &a) ;
printf ("Please enter the second number: " ) ;
scanf ( "%d", &b);
min = smaller(a, b);
printf ( " n The smaller number is : %d", min);
int smaller ( int a, int b)
{
if (a <= b)
return(a);
else
return(b);
}
This program uses a function to determine the smaller of two integer quantities.
The variables are a, b and min.
The alternating pairs of printf - scanf statements provide interactive input.
The final printf statement is an output statement.
The statement min = smaller (a, b) references the function, which is
called smaller.
This function contains an if - else statement that returns the smaller of the two
quantities to the main portion of the program.
