Consider the ‘C’ statement printf (“%f”,(float) 7/5); It prints :

3. 2.0

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1.4

Concept:

• In C programming language, float is a data type that allows variables to store decimal values.
• %f is a format specifier used for float data type
• The storage size of the float data type is 4 bytes. This also varies depending upon the processor in the CPU.

return 0;

}

Output: 1.4
