How to repeat a char using printf?
c, printf
Solution
You can use the following technique:
printf("%.*s", 5, "=================");
This will print `"=====" ` It works for me on Visual Studio, no reason it shouldn't work on all C compilers.
[Edit]
Note that this format specifier will print a left substring of the input, so the number you use has to be <= the width of the string
Problem
I'd like to do something like `printf("?", count, char)` to repeat a character `count` times. What is the right format-string to accomplish this? EDIT: Yes, it is obvious that I could call `printf()` in a loop, but that is just what I wanted to avoid.
