Re: how to print a short and long integer?

a wrote: 
short s;
long l;
s= -2;
l= -3;
printf("% _  %_",s, l);
What characters should be filled out in the formatted string for output?
Thanx


#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    short s = -2;
    long l = -3;
    printf("The standard way using \"%%hd %%ld\": %hd %ld\n", s, l);
    printf(" (but \"%%d %%ld\" should work as well: %d %ld\n", s, l);
    return 0;
}


The standard way using "%hd %ld": -2 -3
 (but "%d %ld" should work as well: -2 -3
.
