%c,%d,%f this format id are useful in c++??

Question

to print alphabet I am using printf("%c",k); in c.
but this is helpful in cpp??

Answer 1

Most C functions are available in C++, and many more. So you may use format specifiers with printf in C++ as well. But for stream I/O like in cout, cin or fstream objects, these specifiers are no longer used.

Thank you sir, I didn't know that. I have changed the answer.

Answer 3

Personally, I prefer to continue using printf in c++ over cout. Plus you'll need those to format other strings that aren't being output to the console.
