C Program to Calculate the Average of Two Numbers

C program to calculate the average of two numbers has been shown here. Average of two numbers is described by the sum of those numbers divided by 2. Suppose $a$ and $b$ are two numbers, then the average is calculated as $\frac{a+b}{2}$. For example if the two numbers are 5 and 6, the average is (5 + 6)/2 = 5.5.

1. Algorithm to Calculate the Average of Two Numbers

1. Take two numbers a and b as inputs

2. Compute x = (a + b)/2

3. Declare x as the average and exit program

2. Pseudocode to Calculate the Average of Two Numbers

Input: Two numbers $a$ and $b$

Output: Average of $a$ and $b$

1. Procedure average($a$, $b$):

2. $x \leftarrow \frac{a+b}{2}$:

3. Return $x$

4. End Procedure

3. Time Complexity to Calculate the Average of Two Numbers

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    // declare variables
    float a, b, x;

    //take input of the numbers
    printf("Enter the first number = ");
    scanf("%f", & a);
    printf("Enter the second number = ");
    scanf("%f", & b);

    // calculate average
    x = (a + b) / 2;

    // display the result
    printf("Average of %f and %f is %f", a, b, x);

    return 0;
}

Output

Enter the first number = 12.5

Enter the second number = 10

Average of 12.500000 and 10.000000 is 11.250000
