[Solved] c programming, not getting proper value of long double

Question

You need to use L flag (%Le) to signify that you pass long double:

printf("minimum long double positive value of %Le \n", LDBL_MAX);
printf("maximum long double positive value of %Le \n", LDBL_MIN);

Otherwise the original code gets part of the long double from the stack and interprets it as double which clearly becomes a mess.
