Fork, Commit, Merge - Easy Issue (C)

Create a Function to Sum Two Numbers in C

Note: You don't have ask permission to start solving the issue or get assigned, since these issues are supposed to be always open for new contributors. The actions-user bot will reset the file back to previous state for the next contributor after your commit is merged. So you can just simply start working with the issue right away!

Navigate to the tasks/c/easy directory from the root of your project.

Then open a file called sum.c.

Your task is to write a C function named sum that will take two integers as arguments and return their sum.

Requirements

Function Signature:

The function should have the following signature:

int sum(int a, int b);

Function Behavior:

The function should return the sum of a and b.

Demonstration

In addition to the sum function, write a main function that does the following:

• Prompt the user to enter two integers.
• Read these integers using scanf.
• Call the sum function to get the sum.
• Print the result using printf.

Expected Output:

Running the program should have an output similar to the following:

Enter two numbers: 5 3
The sum is: 8

Bonus

(Optional) Implement the sum function without using the + operator. Document how you achieved this in your PR.

---

To test the program you have to first make sure you are in the right directory:

cd tasks/c/easy

Then you have to compile the file:

gcc sum.c -o sum

Then you can run the compiled program:

./sum

If the program works as requested in the task, you are ready to make a pull request!
