4.
What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main()
{
    printf("%f\n", sqrt(36.0));
    return 0;
}
6.0
6
6.000000
Error: Prototype sqrt() not found.
Answer: Option
Explanation:

printf("%f\n", sqrt(36.0)); It prints the square root of 36 in the float format(i.e 6.000000).

Declaration Syntax: double sqrt(double x) calculates and return the positive square root of the given number.

Generally, the float value will display like six digits after the decimal point so, the output of the above program will be 6.000000 because of √(36.0) =6.000000.

So whenever we have to calculate the sq.root of decimal digits there are always ans is value .000000.

@D Suresh.

As you said float value display six value after decimal than, what about double and long double?

Deepak said:   7 years ago
If 36.0 is double then it should give 14 digits of precision then answer would be 6.00000000000000.

Because.

36.0 is double.

6.0 is float.

So the answer 6.0 is not possible.
