printing short

[Laserve]

I thought the following code was correct:

short s = ...;
printf("%h\n", s);

But this doesnt print anything with my compiler.
when I do printf("%hd\n", s); it does work, but I really thought the 'd' could be omitted like with %u for instance. Is this correct?

It isn't.

No.
