How to count the number of digits after a decimal point?

I was programming in C and then I came across this question.. The problem is that this problem seems unsolvable.

Take a number with large number of decimals say 20

float can't even handle 20 numbers after decimal point. So if you want to make the program handle large number of decimals than use string for input and simply count all the characters after '.' char a[50]; int i=0, L; scanf("%s",a); L= strlen(a); while(a[i]!='.') { i++; } printf("%d",L-i-1); use string.h for strlen and you can increase the size of string according to constraints.

float a; int n=-1; scanf("%f",&a); while(a-floor(a)!=0) { a*=10; n++; } printf("%d",n);
