Here is a table summarizing what all the different conversions do:
- `%d', `%i'
-
Print an integer as a signed decimal number. See section Integer Conversions, for details. `%d' and `%i' are synonymous for
output, but are different when used with
scanf
for input
(see section Table of Input Conversions).
- `%o'
-
Print an integer as an unsigned octal number. See section Integer Conversions, for details.
- `%u'
-
Print an integer as an unsigned decimal number. See section Integer Conversions, for details.
- `%x', `%X'
-
Print an integer as an unsigned hexadecimal number. `%x' uses
lower-case letters and `%X' uses upper-case. See section Integer Conversions, for details.
- `%f'
-
Print a floating-point number in normal (fixed-point) notation.
See section Floating-Point Conversions, for details.
- `%e', `%E'
-
Print a floating-point number in exponential notation. `%e' uses
lower-case letters and `%E' uses upper-case. See section Floating-Point Conversions, for details.
- `%g', `%G'
-
Print a floating-point number in either normal or exponential notation,
whichever is more appropriate for its magnitude. `%g' uses
lower-case letters and `%G' uses upper-case. See section Floating-Point Conversions, for details.
- `%a', `%A'
-
Print a floating-point number in a hexadecimal fractional notation which
the exponent to base 2 represented in decimal digits. `%a' uses
lower-case letters and `%A' uses upper-case. See section Floating-Point Conversions, for details.
- `%c'
-
Print a single character. See section Other Output Conversions.
- `%C'
-
This is an alias for `%lc' which is supported for compatibility
with the Unix standard.
- `%s'
-
Print a string. See section Other Output Conversions.
- `%S'
-
This is an alias for `%ls' which is supported for compatibility
with the Unix standard.
- `%p'
-
Print the value of a pointer. See section Other Output Conversions.
- `%n'
-
Get the number of characters printed so far. See section Other Output Conversions.
Note that this conversion specification never produces any output.
- `%m'
-
Print the string corresponding to the value of
errno
.
(This is a GNU extension.)
See section Other Output Conversions.
- `%%'
-
Print a literal `%' character. See section Other Output Conversions.
If the syntax of a conversion specification is invalid, unpredictable
things will happen, so don't do this. If there aren't enough function
arguments provided to supply values for all the conversion
specifications in the template string, or if the arguments are not of
the correct types, the results are unpredictable. If you supply more
arguments than conversion specifications, the extra argument values are
simply ignored; this is sometimes useful.
