C program to print characters without using format specifiers Last Updated : 29 Oct, 2017 Improve Improve Like Article Like Save Share Report As we know that there are various format specifiers in C like %d, %f, %c etc, to help us print characters or other data types. We normally use these specifiers along with the printf() function to print any variables. But there is also a way to print characters specifically without the use of %c format specifier. This can be obtained by using the below-shown method to get the character value of any ASCII codes of any particular character. Example: // Prints characters without format specifiers #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("\x47 \n"); printf("\x45 \n"); printf("\x45 \n"); printf("\x4b \n"); printf("\x53"); return 0; } Output: G E E K S Like Article Suggest improvement Previous C Program to find direction of growth of stack Next Benefits of C language over other programming languages Share your thoughts in the comments Add Your Comment Please Login to comment...
