Check if a pair of numbers is in ascending/descending order
C Practice Exercise
Write a C program to check if two numbers in a pair are in ascending order or descending order.
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int x, y, i, total = 0; // Declare variables for user input and calculations
printf("\nInput a pair of numbers (for example 10,2 : 2,10):");
printf("\nInput first number of the pair: ");
scanf("%d", &x); // Read the first number
printf("\nInput second number of the pair: ");
scanf("%d", &y); // Read the second number
if (x > y) {
printf("The pair is in descending order!"); // If x is greater than y, print message for descending order
} else {
printf("The pair is in ascending order!"); // Otherwise, print message for ascending order
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
Sample Output:
Input a pair of numbers (for example 10,2 : 2,10):
Input first number of the pair: 10
Input second number of the pair: 2
The pair is in descending order!
