The Format specifier is a string used in the formatted input and output functions. The format string determines the format of the input and output.
The format string always starts with a '%' character.
| Format specifier | Type |
|---|---|
| %d or %i | It's used to print the integer value(positive n negative both) |
| %o | It’s used to print the octal value |
| %x | It’s is used to print the hexadecimal integer value and it always starts with a 0x value.in this case, alphabetical characters are printed in small letters like a,b,c, etc. |
| %X | It’s is used to print the hexadecimal integer value. but %X prints the alphabetical characters in uppercase like A, B, C, etc. |
| %f | It’s is used for print the decimal floating-point values. |
| %s | It’s used to print the strings. |
| %c | It’s used to print the unsigned character. |
| %ld | It is used to print the long-signed integer value. |
