In c we put % before 'd' or '%S'

Wt mean by '%'.


EXample

Printf("%d %s",id,name);

hi prasath,

% means - print formatting is controlled by 'format identifiers'

Example:
--------
char name[20] = "Buddies";
int age = 5;
printf( "Hello %s, you are %d years old\n", name, age );

displays the following output:

Hello Buddies, you are 5 years old

1. The %s means, "insert the first argument, a string, right here."
2. The %d indicates that the second argument (an integer) should be placed there. like that there are different %-codes for different variable types.
