In this tutorial, you will learn how to print the natural numbers in reverse order from n to 1 and also between the range of two numbers with a difference of 2 in C. You need to have the knowledge of the following in C.

C Program to Print Natural Numbers in Reverse from n to 1 with a difference of 2

The program below is done with help of for loop but you can do the same with the help of a while loop too.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int num, i;

  printf("Enter the upper value: ");
  scanf("%d", &num);

  printf("Natural Numbers with difference 2 ranging between %d to 1 are: \n", num);
  for (i = num; i >= 1; i-=2)
  {
    printf("%d ", i);
  }

  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the upper value: 10
Natural Numbers with difference 2 ranging between 10 to 1 are:
10 8 6 4 2 1

You can do the same with a while loop just replace the for statement with the following code. Remember to assign the num to i after taking the input as shown below.

i = num;
while (i >= 1)
{
  printf("%d ", i);;
  i--;
}

C Program to return Natural Numbers in Reverse within a Range with a difference of 2

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int numStart, numEnd, i;

  printf("Enter the upper value: ");
  scanf("%d", &numStart);
  printf("Enter the lower value: ");
  scanf("%d", &numEnd);

  i = numStart;

  printf("Natural Numbers with difference 2 ranging between %d to %d are: \n", numStart, numEnd);
  while (i >= numEnd)
  {
    printf("%d ", i);;
    i -= 2;
  }

  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the upper value: 20
Enter the lower value: 10
Natural Numbers with difference 2 ranging between 20 to 10 are:
20 18 16 14 12 10

Also, you can replace the while loop with for loop as shown in the first example above.
