An example of the printf function. printf is a C standard library function that formats text and writes it to standard output.. The name, printf is short for print formatted where print refers to output to a printer although the functions are not limited to printer output.
For example, an integer can be printed using the "%d" formatting code, e.g.: printf("%d", 42); This formats the integer "42" as text and prints it to the standard output. printf is typically the first function any C programmer encounters, because it is the only function which appears in the standard Hello world program:
Integer addition, for example, can be performed as a single machine instruction, and some offer specific instructions to process sequences of characters with a single instruction. [7] But the choice of primitive data type may affect performance, for example it is faster using SIMD operations and data types to operate on an array of floats.
All C integer types have signed and unsigned variants. If signed or unsigned is not specified explicitly, in most circumstances, signed is assumed. However, for historic reasons, plain char is a type distinct from both signed char and unsigned char. It may be a signed type or an unsigned type, depending on the compiler and the character set (C ...
For example, when shifting a 32 bit unsigned integer, a shift amount of 32 or higher would be undefined. Example: If the variable ch contains the bit pattern 11100101, then ch >> 1 will produce the result 01110010, and ch >> 2 will produce 00111001. Here blank spaces are generated simultaneously on the left when the bits are shifted to the right.
For Integers, the unsigned modifier defines the type to be unsigned. The default integer signedness outside bit-fields is signed, but can be set explicitly with signed modifier. By contrast, the C standard declares signed char, unsigned char, and char, to be three distinct types, but specifies that all three must have the same size and alignment.
The formatting placeholders in scanf are more or less the same as that in printf, its reverse function.As in printf, the POSIX extension n$ is defined. [2]There are rarely constants (i.e., characters that are not formatting placeholders) in a format string, mainly because a program is usually not designed to read known data, although scanf does accept these if explicitly specified.
