What is the printf() function of the C language

[Tailor]

I am the beginner of the C programming language. I can not know much more about the C programming language. I have to print the data into the C programming. But I can not know how to print the data. So, I would like to know about the printf() function of the C programming language. I also would like to know about the how can I use the printf() function in the C programming. reply me!!

The printf() function can be used to print the data in the formatted structure the to stdout. The printf() function can writes to the stdout a given sequence of data that can be formatted as the format argument specifies. The following can be the syntax of the printf() function of the C programming language as :

int printf ( const char * frmt, ... );

The following program can demonstrates you what is the printf() function of the C language :

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   printf ("%s \n", "A string");
   printf ("Some different radixes: %d %x %o %#x %#o \n", 100, 
                                                         100, 100, 100, 100);
   printf ("Decimals: %d %ld\n", 1977, 650000L);
   printf ("Preceding with blanks: %10d \n", 1977);
   printf ("floats: %4.2f %+.0e %E \n", 3.1416, 3.1416, 3.1416);
   printf ("Characters: %c %c \n", 'a', 65);
   printf ("Preceding with zeros: %010d \n", 1977);
   printf ("Width trick: %*d \n", 5, 10);
   return 0;
}

The output of the above as follows :

A string
Some different radixes: 100 64 144 0x64 0144
Decimals: 1977 650000
Preceding with blanks:       1977
floats: 3.14 +3e+000 3.141600E+000
Characters: a A
Preceding with zeros: 0000001977
Width trick:    10

The printf() function can be used to print to the STDOUT as an output according to the other arguments and formats that can be passed to the printf() function. The string can consists of the format of the two types of an elements such as the commands that can defines how the other an arguments to printf() function can be displayed and characters that can be printed onto the screen. You can specify a format string that can has the text within it as well as "special" characters that can be map to the other an arguments of printf() function of the C language.

[Praetor]

The following can be the parameter of the printf() function in the C language :
1. frmt : This parameter of the printf() function can be used for string that can contains the text that can be written to the stdout. The printf() function can optionally contains an embedded format of the tags that can be substituted by the values that can be specified in the other argument and can be formatted as can be requested.

PROGRpM :

#include <stdio.h>
int mpin() 
{
  int p = 72;
  chpr q = 'p';
  printf("p equals %d \n", p);
  printf("p equals %c \n", p);
  printf("q equals %d \n", q);
  printf("q equals %c \n", q);
}

OUTPUT :

p equals 72
p equals H
q equals 65
q equals p
