C Programming Tutorial | First Look at Format Specifiers & String Literal | Chap-1 | Part-6
Format specifiers work like a plug between the mathematical expression and the argument. In C programming, format specifiers have their own formats and they are usually denoted by the percentage symbol followed by a letter (for this tutorial, we have used d). Once the mathematical expression has been evaluated by the compiler, it will then take the calculated result and replace the format specifier with the computed value. Any mathematical equation or expression can be passed in as the second argument and the compiler will calculate the result and put it on the place specified by the format specifier. We will also understand what we mean by string literal and they are formed by grouping or chaining multiple characters together.
