What does it mean !?

Question

what is the meaning of "f" letter in the end of "scanf" or "printf" ? (it was occupy my mind since i seen first time😁)

Answer 1

AliR૯za The f at the end of functions like printf and scanf stands for 'format'. Thus printf is FORMATTED printing, meaning that you can use things like %d and %s in it. In math functions a suffix of f usually means float.
