ABSTRACT
PROJECT TITLE: Electricity bill generation
In C programming, electricity bill generation involves calculating the total cost
based on consumption and predefined rates. Utilize variables for units
consumed, rate per unit, and calculate the total cost using a simple formula.
Consider user input for consumption, apply conditional statements for
different rate slabs, and display the generated electricity bill.
In a C program for electricity bill generation, you would typically
Input: Take user inputs such as customer details (name, address), meter
readings (previous and current), and tariff rates.
Calculate Consumption: Determine the electricity consumption by subtracting
the previous meter reading from the current reading.
Calculate Bill Amount: Use the consumption and tariff rates to calculate the bill
amount. This may involve different rates for various consumption slabs.
Display Bill: Output the customer details and the calculated bill amount.
Here's a simplified example:
Note: This is a basic example and may not cover all edge cases or error handling. Always validate and
sanitize user inputs in real-world applications.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
// Input
char name[50], address[100];
float prevReading, currReading, consumption, tariffRate, billAmount;
printf("Enter customer details:\n");
printf("Name: ");
gets(name); // Using gets for simplicity, not recommended in real programs
printf("Address: ");
gets(address);
printf("\nEnter meter readings:\n");
printf("Previous Reading: ");
scanf("%f", &prevReading);
printf("Current Reading: ");
scanf("%f", &currReading);
printf("\nEnter tariff rate (per unit): ");
scanf("%f", &tariffRate);
// Calculate Consumption
consumption = currReading - prevReading;
// Calculate Bill Amount
billAmount = consumption * tariffRate;
// Display Bill
printf("\n--- Electricity Bill ---\n");
printf("Customer Name: %s\n", name);
printf("Address: %s\n", address);
printf("Consumption: %.2f units\n", consumption);
printf("Bill Amount: $%.2f\n", billAmount);
return 0;
