This is an example program in c calculation programs. Read the concept first: Data Types in C Programming, then study the code and output below.

Definition

In classical times, the second power was described in terms of the area of a square, as in the above formula. This led to the use of the term square to mean raising to the second power. Thus the area of the square is twice the length of the square.

Area Of Square Formula

The area of a rectangle is written as,
A=s^2
here,
A=Area
s=side of the square

Area Of Square Example Program

/*##Area Of Square*/

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

int main() {
   int length, area;

   printf("\nEnter the Length of Square : ");
   scanf("%d", &length);

   area = length * length;
   printf("\nArea of Square : %d", area);
    return 0;
}

Sample Output

Enter the Length of Square  : 5
Area of Square : 25
