int sprintf(char *str, const char *string,...);

sprintf stands for “String print”. Instead of printing on console, it store output on char buffer which are specified in sprintf.
C
// Example program to demonstrate sprintf()#include <stdio.h>int main(){ char buffer[50]; int a = 10, b = 20, c; c = a + b; sprintf(buffer, "Sum of %d and %d is %d", a, b, c); // The string "sum of 10 and 20 is 30" is stored // into buffer instead of printing on stdout printf("%s", buffer); return 0;} |
