C Program to Generate Multiplication Table

multiplication_table.c

C

1#include <stdio.h>
2
3int main() {
4    int num;
5    
6    printf("Enter a number: ");
7    scanf("%d", &num);
8    
9    printf("\nMultiplication Table of %d:\n", num);
10    printf("============================\n");
11    
12    // Loop from 1 to 10
13    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
14        printf("%d × %2d = %3d\n", num, i, num * i);
15    }
16    
17    return 0;
18}

Output

Enter a number: 7

Multiplication Table of 7:

============================

7 × 1 = 7

7 × 2 = 14

7 × 3 = 21

7 × 4 = 28

7 × 5 = 35

7 × 6 = 42

7 × 7 = 49

7 × 8 = 56

7 × 9 = 63

7 × 10 = 70

Understanding the For Loop

for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)

int i = 1

Initialization
(runs once)

i <= 10

Condition
(checked each iteration)

i++

Update
(runs after each iteration)

Formatted Output Explained

Format	Meaning	Example
%d	Default integer width	7
%2d	Width 2, right-aligned	7
%3d	Width 3, right-aligned	7

📝 Key Takeaways

✓for loop: init; condition; update

✓%Nd sets minimum width N

✓Loop runs while condition is TRUE

✓i++ increments i by 1
