Write a program that calls a function to scale a real number

Write a program that calls a function to scale a real number x into its scientific notation so that 1 lessthanorequalto x

Solution

#include <stdio.h>

void sci_notation(double *x, int *n); //prototype

int main(){
    double x = 0.00025; //any random value
    int n = 0; //initializing n

    sci_notation(&x, &n); //calling function

    printf(\"%f\", x);
    printf(\"\ %d\", n);

}

void sci_notation(double *x, int *n){

    while (*x>=10){ //loop if x>10
        *x = *x/10.0;
        *n = *n - 1;
    }

    while(*x<1){ //loop if x<1
        *x = *x * 10;
        *n = *n + 1;
    }

}
