for my case, each variable i will be printing will have a unique name (ie won't be part of an array), so not sure that a loop would be appropriate, unless i'm misunderstanding how the loop would be...

Wondering if there is a built in way to multiply sections of the printf format field in cases when you want a particular part to repeat. In other words lets say you want to print 100 integers with...
