Introduction to Programming in C- Clarification regarding Presentation error

Dear Participants,
Presentation error only signifies that the correct output is presented in different style. Two numbers separated by the space and newline are treated differently however the numbers are same in both the cases. So, we ignore such type of errors that's why it flashes the comment "Paased after ignoring Presentation error". It doesn't affect your performance in the evaluation of assignments. Your code works fine for the given test case.
