What does an 'F' in the Format specifier of printf mean?
What does %.8Ff
format specifier in printf do?
F
mean?According to the manual:
The F conversion specifier produces "INF", "INFINITY", or "NAN" instead of "inf", "infinity", or "nan", respectively.
In your format string %.8Ff
, the f
is treated as a literal character and printed as an f
.
One possible use of putting a literal f
after the format specifier could be to print a string that's later to be parsed by a C or C++ compiler as a float
constant instead of double
constant.
