To understand this example, you should have the
knowledge of the following C programming (/c-
programming) topics:

two operands depending upon the
operator entered by the user.
Simple Calculator using switch Statement
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char op;
double first, second;
printf("Enter an operator (+, -, *, /): ");
scanf("%c", &op);
printf("Enter two operands: ");
scanf("%lf %lf", &first, &second);
switch (op) {
case '+':
printf("%.1lf + %.1lf = %.1lf", first, second, fi
break;
case '-':
printf("%.1lf - %.1lf = %.1lf", first, second, fi
break;
case '*':
printf("%.1lf * %.1lf = %.1lf", first, second, fi
break;
case '/':
printf("%.1lf / %.1lf = %.1lf", first, second, fi
break;
// operator doesn't match any case constant
default:
printf("Error! operator is not correct");
return 0;

The * operator entered by the user is stored in op . And,
the two operands, 1.5 and 4.5 are stored in first and
second respectively.
Since the operator * matches case '*': , the control of
the program jumps to
printf("%.1lf * %.1lf = %.1lf", first, second, first * se
This statement calculates the product and displays it on
the screen.
To make our output look cleaner, we have simply limited
the output to one decimal place using the code %.1lf .
Finally, the break; statement ends the switch
statement.
