Thread: What does this compiler message mean?

Hi,

I am currently using Microsoft Visual Studio community 2017.

Was writing simple C program to calculate taxes. hours worked, and such, and when I compiled the program, the output window showed:

Code:

1>d:\documents\visual studio 2017\projects\c\program7.c(54): note: placeholders and their parameters expect 0 variadic arguments, but 1 were provided

Would appreciate if anybody can explain to me what this note means, as googling didn't seem to be getting me anywhere. The note issue doesn't affect my program, but just want to know what it means and if there's a fix to take care of that message.

Seen this note appear twice for a simple printf line of the following:

Code:

printf("Gross pay = $0.2f\n", gross_pay);

Thanks!
