    Exclamation data types help

    I know the three main data types in basic C.
    Integers, Characters, and Floating Point data.
    When I'm specifying the type of data, would "%d" be integer data?

    Thanks,
    Bud

    Yes. %d is integer, %c is character and %f is floating point. There are more, like %x which gives the value in hexadecimal notation and %s can be used for strings.

    Thanks man, My book, Absolute Beginner's Guide to C, tells me about it somewhere, I've seen it before. But I was just curious. Thank you again
