how can we use a printf statement without a semicolon???
this was a question asked during an interview of a computer engineering student.

Assuming this was a job interview, I suggest you stay away from any job that asks foolish questions like this. I would not want to work for a company that want it's programmers to use tricks that make code unreadable.

You can always put the call to printf in an if-statement, like this:

c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    if( printf("Hello World!\n") ) {}
    return 0;
}
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    if( printf("Hello World!\n") ) {}
    return 0;
}

As you can see, no semicolon is needed to invoke the printf function.

Quoted for the truth.
