Below is the C program to find whether a number is positive, negative or zero.

int main() 
    int A; 
  
    printf("Enter the number A: "); 
    scanf("%d", &A); 
  
    if (A > 0) 
        printf("%d is positive.", A); 
    else if (A < 0) 
        printf("%d is negative.", A); 
    else if (A == 0) 
        printf("%d is zero.", A); 
  
    return 0; 

                    

Output:

Enter the number A =: -54
