    printf field width

    hello, I am new to c programming, and now solving some problems from c primer plus. I would like to ask about the printf conversion specifier that prints a string in a field three character wider than the string.
    any help will be greatly appreciated.
    thank you.

    Did you read the documentation for printf()? Pay particular attention to the width and precision specifiers.
