How to printf for varying variable

[Fabii23]

I am trying to pad result with a length of zeros specified by padlength,
I'm unsure of how to do this since the printf doesn't take this arg..

void printConversion(int value)
{
	char *result = convert(value);
	int padLength = 12-strlen(result);

	printf("%d ",value);
	printf("%0padLengths\n",result);
}



char *convert(int value)
{
	static char buf[5];
	itoa(value, buf, 2);
	return buf;
}

The easiest way to do it would be a loop.

for ( i = 0; i < padLength; i++ )
{
    printf("0");
}

Maybe something like this?

void printConversion(int value)
{
	char *result = convert(value);
	int padLength = 12-strlen(result);

	printf("%10d ",value);
	printf("%0*d%s\n", padLength, 0, result);
}
