Natural number

Natural numbers are numbers that are common and clearly in nature. As such, it is a whole, nonnegative number.

Logic

To print the first N natural number we only have to run one single loop from 1 to N.

After taking input (num) from user start one loop from 1 to num, and then inside the loop simply print the current variable “i”.

Program

PrintNaturalNumbers.CCopy
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

    int i, num;

    // Take number from user
    printf("Enter any number : ");
    scanf("%d", &num);

    printf("\nNatural numbers from 1 to %d\n", num);
    for(i = 1; i <= num; i++) {

        printf("%d ", i);
    }

    return 0;
}
Try It

Output

Enter any number : 10
