What is the difference between printf and sprintf ?

Answer 1

Hey Ravi ,

printf : output to the standard output stream
(stdout )

sprintf: goes to a buffer you allocated (char *)

printf : printf ("format", args) is used to print
the data onto the standard output
which often a computer monitor.

sprintf: sprintf(char*, "format", args) is like
printf. instead on displaying the
formated string on the standard output
i.e. a monitor, it stores the formated data in a string pointed to by the char pointer . the string location is the only difference between printf and sprintf syntax.

example for sprintf

char *p ;
sprintf (p," %s", Mock);

Hope I answered your question .
