C program to generate a multiplication table

Prerequisites:

1. Knowing the for loop in C programing language
2. An idea about format specifiers in C
3. Knowing the C programming operators

For loop in C:

For loop is a program statement in C language which allows code to be executed until a terminal condition is met. They can even repeat forever if the terminal condition is never met.

Syntax:

for(initialization; condition; increment/decrement)
{
    statement-block;
}

Initialization is where the variable is assigned a initial value while executing the loop.

Condition literally means the terminal condition of the for loop which must be satisfied for the loop statements to be executed.

Increment/decrement is where the variable value is either increased or decreased according.(For example, i- -or i++)

Finally, when the condition is false, it exits the loop.

C programming operators:

In this program, we will be using a few of C language’s arithmetic operators. An arithmetic operator performs mathematical operations such as addition(+), subtraction(-), multiplication(*), division(/).. on numerical values (constants and variables).

Format specifiers in C:

The format specifiers are used in C for input and output purposes. The compiler can understand that what type of data is in a variable during taking input using the scanf() function and printing using printf() function.

Here, we use %d which represents a signed integer data type.

Code:

This program reads an integer input from the user and generates the multiplication tables up to the range required by the user.
