Format strings in C

[@toaastr8409]

Every time I watch a new video from your channel, I hit the like button. I wish I have a macro for that. Now, I'm using my thumb again. 👍

Very useful video. Thank you for covering it so thoroughly. Also, what a great function snprintf() is?! I am picking back up C again after many years and I love it's simplicity, power, speed, and cross-platform support. I think all real programmers should know how to use it and C++ very well. Thank you for covering this jewel of a language.

Our website is up on: code-vault.net although it only has source codes and links to the current videos. We plan on expanding that soon!

Lemme paraphrase the entire video: define format strings as a preprocessor directive and you won't have to rewrite your format strings everywhere they're used. tbh this is common sense.

does this technique work in C++?

[@CodeVault]

If you're using printf, it sure will. If you're using cout... There is a format function in the boost library, which you'd have to install, but it is different. You can also override the

thx very nice videos like them

[@charan2446]

Dose this snprintf(buffer, 100, .......) work in c++ ?

[@CodeVault]

Yes, anything that works in C works in C++ as well

I am getting warning od -wformat-truncation when using snprintf.How to avoid that??

[@CodeVault]

Can you send me the whole error? I'm not sure what that means
