Ok someone new here, when you get code like
printf("%s")
not sure if that is how it goes but what/why does that
"%whatever" do??

It's a special format string. %s means "Print a string".
printf("%s"); alone won't do much (will probably crash).
Look at this example for its use: (%d = integer)
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> int main() { char Name[] = "David"; int Age = 19; printf("Hello %s, are you %d years old?", Name, Age); getch(); return 0; }

Alright thanks Magos I will try that for a bit and something a bit off topic can anyone reccomend a good C book for reference that would have all of these simple questions answered somewhere in it?

No - but if you get the online help that comes with most big comercial compilers (even Borland's free downloads!), you can do searches, and it'll have good reference sections. With this for example, it explains the basics, and then it has a table of all the symbols to use in the format string. It's excellent.
