Below is a simple C program to subtract two numbers with an explanation:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

// Declare variables to store two numbers and the result

int num1, num2, result;

// Prompt the user to enter the first number

printf("Enter the first number: ");

scanf("%d", &num1);

// Prompt the user to enter the second number

printf("Enter the second number: ");

scanf("%d", &num2);

// Perform subtraction

result = num1 - num2;

// Display the result

printf("The result of subtraction is: %d\n", result);

return 0; // Indicate that the program ended successfully

Explanation:

1. Include the Header File (#include <stdio.h>):

o The stdio.h library is included to enable input/output functions like printf and scanf.

2. Declare Variables:

o Three integer variables (num1, num2, result) are declared to store the input
numbers and the result of the subtraction.
3. Input Numbers:

o The program prompts the user to enter two integers using printf, and scanf reads the
inputs.

4. Perform Subtraction:

o The subtraction operation num1 - num2 is performed and stored in the result
variable.

5. Display the Result:

o The program prints the result using printf.

6. Return Statement:

o The return 0; at the end of the main() function signifies that the program executed
successfully.

Example Output:

Input:

Enter the first number: 15

Enter the second number: 7

Output:

The result of subtraction is: 8
