#include <stdio.h> //Header file is included for Standard input and output

int main() { //This is where the program execution begins
    // Declare variables for the sides of the triangle
    float base, height; 

    // Prompt user for input
    printf("Enter the base of the triangle: ");
    //Store the value that is entered by the user in base variable %f means type cast it to float
    scanf("%f", &base);

    printf("Enter the height of the triangle: ");
    scanf("%f", &height);

    // Calculate the area of the triangle
    float area = 0.5 * base * height;

    // Display the result
    //%.4f means print up to 4 decimals
    printf("The area of the triangle is: %.4f", area);

    return 0;
}

//Enter the base of the triangle: 3.45
//Enter the height of the triangle: 1.234567
//The area of the triangle is: 2.1296
