Storing multiple values
If we are to calculate and print the percentage marks obtained by 3 students, the program given below would suffice.
RUN the code below and see the output!
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int m1, m2, m3, per;
int i;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++){
printf("Enter Marks:\n");
scanf("%d%d%d", &m1, &m2, &m3);
// Calculates percentage of each student
per = (m1+m2+m3)/3;
printf("%d\n", per);
}
// Only percentage of last student is available to us
printf("Percentage of last student is %d\n", per);
}However, if we wish to arrange three percentages obtained, in ascending order, before printing them, the program is inadequate — as once control goes outside the loop, only the last student’s percentage is available in per. So we need to have a way to store three values. This can be done in two ...
