Subject: [Dev-C++] A newbie question


I am in class learning C. I am trying to do something, just goofing not
schoolwork, and I wanted to know if I can put a variable in my printf format
string. IE
printf("%variables%5f%3s");

No.

I am trying to make it where I can put spaces into a line but at differing
lengths each time.


You can try  #define, #ifdef, #ifndef, e.t.c. in some way but if you want to
create spaces only you can try something like this:

int main()
{
int i=0, spaces=0;

/* spaces are defined somewhere in the code */

for (i=0; i<spaces; i++)
printf(" "); /* It inserts spaces in a line */

...

return 0;
}



If I am misspeaking by asking in this forum, please forgive me. If this is
not a place to ask questions of a general type, could you please direct me
where to go.

It is the right place.

p/s if this is the place for such posts, I have a thousand more :)

Ok post them. :)
