C Program to Find Volume and Surface Area of a Cylinder
In this tutorial, we will learn to create a C program that will Find the Volume and Surface Area of a Cylinder in C programming.
Prerequisites
Before starting with this tutorial, we assume that you are the best aware of the following C programming topics:
- Operators in C Programming.
- Basic Input and Output function in C Programming.
- Basic C programming.
- Mathematical operations in C programming.
What is a Cylinder?
The cylinder is a 3d shape containing two parallel lines and the circles connected to form a cylindrical shape in geometry. The distance between the two circular bases is called the height of the cylinder.

1. Declaring the required variables for the program. 2. Taking the input radius and the height of the cylinder from the user. 3. <strong>C</strong><strong>alculating the Surface Area and volume of a Cylinder </strong>using the code. 4. Printing the surface area of the <strong>Cylinder</strong>. 5. End the program. |
Program description:-
In today’s tutorial, we will create a program, that will calculate the Volume and Surface Area of a Cylinder using C programming. First, take the height and the radius of the Cylinder as input from the user. Then we will find the surface area and the volume of a Cylinder using mathematical expressions and calculations. At last, we will print the Volume and Surface Area of a Cylinder.

/* C Program to find Volume and Surface Area of a Cylinder */ //including the header files #include<stdio.h> #include<math.h> int main() { //declaring the required variables for the program float rd, ht; //rd = it will hold the integer value for the input radius //ht = it will hold the integer value for the input height float sa,vol; //vol = it will hold the volume of the cylinder. //Taking the input radius and the height of the cylinder printf("\n Please Enter the radius and height of a cylinder \n"); scanf("%f %f", &rd, &ht);//scanning the input radius and the height //Calculating the surface area of the cylinder sa = 2 * M_PI * rd * (rd + ht); //Calculating the volume of the cylinder vol = M_PI * rd * rd * ht; //Printing the Surface Area of a cylinder printf("\n Surface Area of a cylinder = %.2f", sa); //Printing the Volume of a cylinder printf("\n Volume of a Cylinder = %.2f", vol); return 0; } |
Output:-
In the above program, we have first initialized the required variable.
- rd = it will hold the integer value for the input radius of the cylinder.
- ht = it will hold the integer value for the input radius of the cylinder.
- sa = it will hold the integer the surface area of the cylinder
- vol = it will hold the value of the volume of the cylinder.
Taking the input length of the side of the cylinder.
Calculating the surface area & volume of the cylinder.
Printing the volume and surface area of the cylinder.
