#include < stdio. h >

void main ( )

{

 int a, b, c ;

 printf ( " enter the value of a " ) ;

 scanf ( " % d " , & a ) ;  // here we use & operator to take input from user.

 printf ( " enter the value of b " ) ;

 scanf ( " % d " , & b ) ; // & operator.

  c = a + b ;

 printf ( " %d " , c ) ;

}
