printf("\nn = %*d", 5, 4);and the output is:
n = 4(yea! there are spaces between = and 4)
if i am providing only one argument 5 instead of 5 and 4 i get an error stating too few arguments. What in the world is the "*" is doing in this program. Are there any other such char which could be used in a format specifier?
Jump to PostThe star says that you will be providing the width as an argument. In this case, the "%*d" evaluates into 5 characters (4 spaces + 1 digit).
In case you want to know more about printf format specifier, I've found this to be very good.
