    I'm trying to master printf, but I'm having trouble concatenating values.

    Hi. I'm trying to concatenate 3 intergers, but I'm getting an error that says I'm missing a closing parentheses before a numeric constant. Here's the code:
    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<stdlib.h>
    //printf_Concatenation.c
    
    int main()
    {
        puts("Integers:");
        printf("As easy as %d, %d, and %d!"1,2,3);
        printf("The first number is %d, the second number is %d, and the third number is %d."1,2,3);
        
        puts("Strings:");
        printf("You are the %s link. Goodbye!\n","weakest");
        
        puts("Floating-Point Values and/or Fractions:");
        
        puts("Single Chars:");
        
        puts("Percentage");
        printf("I got %d%% on my C programming exam!\n",99);
    }
    The error for line 9 says:
    9 87 C:\Dev-C_Projects\printf_Concatenation.c [Error] expected ')' before numeric constant

    You forgot a comma, i.e., this:
    Code:
    printf("As easy as %d, %d, and %d!"1,2,3);
    should have been:
    Code:
    printf("As easy as %d, %d, and %d!", 1,2,3);

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
