4) CONCLUSIONS

C programming helps to reduce lengthy calculations.

Results obtained very accurately with minimum time by
using C programming. The program run successfully with
reasonable speed and accuracy, thus achieving the basic
aim of carrying out this work. New software can be
invented by users according to our requisit. The
programming environment selected in the project work, is
