Problem goes out like this.
I want to replace the %d with, say, letter Q.
Problem is, when I use the Q instead of %d inside printf statements, the printf prints out the Q, instead of the variables listed on the right.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to get around this, or if this is just something that must be accepted as impossible.
Go get a book or a tutorial on printf() and read it. You're going to need to do so.
%d is a placeholder for printing an integer, which is specified after the string of text. It's a control code. Anything followed by a % sign in a printf is special. Here, read this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...tf_wprintf.asp
and this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de..._functions.asp
and this:
http://cplus.about.com/library/weekly/aa032302a.htm
and, heck, read this too:
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~zachary/ispm...als/io/io.html
If you don't get it after that, read more of these:
http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...rintf+tutorial
and if that still doesn't cut it for you... well, then...wow.
Away.
You obviously dont understand what I'm saying then if you think i have no clue what the %d does.
The effect I'm trying to get to is how you can change the "{" and "}" into the words BEGIN and END.
Such as
What I am trying to is thisCode:#define BEGIN { #define END } int main() BEGIN blah blah blah END
If no one still doesn't understand what I'm talking about, I'll just walk this way like nothing happened...Code:#define Q %d int main() { x = 2; printf("Q", x); yadayadayada }
Oh, belive me. I would never actually use things like BEGIN and END in replace of brackets, or any other significant functions or anything.
Its just this program I am writing would have seemed easier if i could replace %d with a single letter (making image out of letters, maybe you can understand my viewpoint now), but now that i look on it, easier to just stick with the %d.
Just thought it could of been the only worth while usage for it, but it proved me wrong. Defining your own statements suck.
