5.5 Using printf
Statements for Fancier Printing
For more precise control over the output format than what is
provided by print
, use printf
.
With printf
you can
specify the width to use for each item, as well as various
formatting choices for numbers (such as what output base to use, whether to
print an exponent, whether to print a sign, and how many digits to print
after the decimal point).
