C Printf()

The purpose of the printf() function is to display a message to the user or to get the data required by the program from the user.

eg:

If you want to get his name from the user, printf("enter our name") is used. This method is used to ask the user.

syntax:

printf(" ");

Any message we give inside these double quotes will be displayed on the monitor.

Importantly, semicolon(;) should be given at the end. If semicolon(;) is not given, syntax error will occur in programming.

Escape Sequence:

They are very helpful in bringing us the expected output.

A backslash(\) followed by another character is an escape sequence.

\n-\n is new line.

Eg:

printf(“red\ngreen”);

output:

red

green

Instead of showing red green in a single row, they show it in a row.

\t-\t is tab(horizontal).

When using this you get 4 spaces between two words.

Eg:

printf(“red\tgreen”);

Output:

Red green

\'-\' are single quotes.

Single quotes are used to show the word and sentence inside.

Eg:

printf(“I Love\'Code\'”);

Output:

I Love 'Code'

And there are many escape sequences like this.
