C program to print characters and strings in different formats.
An algorithm is given below to explain the process which is included in the C programming language to print the characters and strings in different formats.
Step 1: Read a character to print.
Step 2: Read a name at compile time.
Step 3: Output of characters in different formats by using format specifiers.
- printf("%c
%3c
%5c
", x,x,x); - printf("%3c
%c
", x,x); - printf("
");
Step 4: Output of strings in different formats by using format specifiers.
- printf("%s
", name); - printf("%20s
", name); - printf("%20.10s
", name); - printf("%.5s
", name); - printf("%-20.10s
", name); - printf("%5s
", name);
Example
Following is the C program to print the characters and strings in different formats −
#include<stdio.h>
main(){
char x = 'T';
static char name[20] = "Tutorials Point";
printf("OUTPUT OF CHARACTERS
");
printf("%c
%3c
%5c
", x,x,x);
printf("%3c
%c
", x,x);
printf("
");
printf("OUTPUT OF STRINGS
");
printf("%s
", name);
printf("%20s
", name);
printf("%20.10s
", name);
printf("%.5s
", name);
printf("%-20.10s
", name);
printf("%5s
", name);
}Output
When the above program is executed, it produces the following output −
OUTPUT OF CHARACTERS T T T T T OUTPUT OF STRINGS Tutorials Point Tutorials Point Tutorials Tutor Tutorials Tutorials Point
Example
Consider another program to check different format −
#include<stdio.h>
main() {
char x = 'T';
static char name[20] = "Tutorials Point";
printf("OUTPUT OF CHARACTERS
");
printf("%c
", x);
printf("%c
%3c
%5c
", x,x,x);
printf("%3c
%c
", x,x);
printf("%c
%3c
%5c
", x,x,x);
printf("%3c
%c
", x,x);
printf("
");
printf("OUTPUT OF STRINGS
");
printf("%.5s
", name);
printf("%-10.10s
", name);
printf("%.20s
", name);
printf("%20.10s
", name);
printf("%20s
", name);
printf("%10s
", name);
}Output
When the above program is executed, it produces the following output −
OUTPUT OF CHARACTERS
