16 wrz 2014 · I have seen these two parameters in a C example in a C book, but the author didn't elaborate what the difference between the two is. I know that %f specifies that a float should take its place. I have tried looking this up but have had a hard time finding an explanation. What about %lf?
24 mar 2019 · There is no rule in the C standard that says a program must use %f or must not use %d for a float argument. Rather, all the standard says is that it, the standard, does not define the behavior if %d is used with a float. A reason this distinction is important is that the C standard is deliberately designed to permit and even invite extensions.
You can use %f as well, if you so prefer (%lf and %f are equivalent in printf). But in modern C it makes perfect sense to prefer to use %f with float, %lf with double and %Lf with long double, consistently in both printf and scanf.
6 maj 2011 · f,F The double argument is rounded and converted to decimal notation in the style [-]ddd.ddd, where the number of digits after the decimal-point character is equal to the precision specification. If the precision is missing, it is taken as 6; if the precision is explicitly zero, no decimal-point character appears.
15 lis 2012 · I am aware that %f (is meant to be for double) has a default precision of 6, also I am aware that the problem (in this case) can be fixed by using double but I am inquisitive about the output f2 = 23.700001 and f3 = 58.889999 in float.
2 gru 2011 · I want to print a float value which has 2 integer digits and 6 decimal digits after the comma. If I just use printf("%f", myFloat) I'm getting a truncated value. I don't know if this always happens in C, or it's just because I'm using C for microcontrollers (CCS to be exact), but at the reference it tells that %f get just that: a truncated float.
12 (form feed, \f, ^L), to cause a printer to eject paper to the top of the next page, or a video terminal to clear the screen. or more details here. It seems that this symbol is rather obsolete now and the way it is processed may be(?) implementation dependent. At least for me your code gives the following output (xcode gcc 4.2, gdb console):
27 sty 2012 · %d is print as an int %s is print as a string %f is print as floating point. It should be noted that it is incorrect to say that this is different from Java. Printf stands for print format, if you do a formatted print in Java, this is exactly the same usage. This may allow you to solve interesting and new problems in both C and Java!
I am wondering what the difference is between these two variables in C: float price = 3.00; and float price = 3.00f; What is the use of suffix f in this case?
7 maj 2020 · 0.58 (without the f suffix) is a literal of type double and one cannot assign a double value to a float, just like one cannot assign an int value to a string. However you can assign a float value to a double because here you are widening (C# will implicitly convert this for you as no precision will be lost). –
