C Language Program About Integration

This C program calculates the definite integral of a specified function using the trapezoidal rule. Users can input the lower and upper limits of integration, as well as the number of subintervals for approximation. The example function integrated in the code is f(x) = x^2, but it can be modified to integrate other functions.
