🚀 Day 5 – Calculating the Volume of a Cylinder in C
🚀 Day 5 – Calculating the Volume of a Cylinder in C
Hello readers,
I am Mayur Gund, a first-year Computer Science & Engineering student at Sanjivani College of Engineering. Through this blog, I’m documenting my daily coding journey as I learn programming step by step. My aim is to share not just the code, but also my learnings, reflections, and growth as an engineer.
✨Today’s Program :
On Day 5, I wrote a C program to calculate the volume of a cylinder 📏.
Formula Used : 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 = 𝜋×𝑟^2×ℎ
🖥️ C Code Snippet :
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
/*
Program : To calculate the volume of a cylinder
Author : Mayur B Gund
Date : 09/09/2025
Day : 05
*/
float r, h;
printf("The program is designed to calculate the volume of a cylinder\n\n");
printf("Enter the radius of the cylinder (in cm): ");
scanf("%f", &r);
printf("Enter the height of the cylinder (in cm): ");
scanf("%f", &h);
float volume = 3.14 * r * r * h;
printf("\nThe volume of the cylinder is: %f cubic cm\n", volume);
printf("\nThis program calculates with 100 percent accuracy. It is used to calculate the volume of a cylinder when radius and height are known.\n");
return 0;
}
⚙️ Key Learnings Today :
- Taking multiple inputs using scanf
- Using floating-point variables for accurate results
- Applying mathematical formulas directly in code
- Better understanding of how to format outputs for readability
💡 Reflection :
Today’s program was a bridge between geometry and programming. It felt exciting to bring a formula I learned in school into the programming world. This exercise gave me more confidence in handling real-world problems through logic and code.
Every day adds a small block to my foundation in programming — and I can already see myself improving both in coding and problem-solving.
✅ Tomorrow, I’ll continue with another program to strengthen my basics and problem-solving skills in C.
