    If you feel that you can't get a grasp om these things I
    can only recommend that you use some other language than
    C. There are lots and lots of very good languages not re-
    quiring you to learn these maybe somewhat arcane things
    and which allow you to write great programs. But if you
    want to learn C then you also have to learn printf()
    format specifiers etc. or it will remain just a very
    frustrating experience.

    I don't feel I can't ever grasp them, I just don't know them. With
    printf I know how to use %x and %? what ever after the %. Even whole numbers
    and decimals after the %. Now I'm learning as I read about $ and # and even
    [ and ] in printf. I haven't seen that in my tutorials or if I remember
    correctly maybe not even kandr2.

      few people do. RTFM
      With
      printf I know how to use %x and %? what ever after the %. Even whole numbers
      and decimals after the %. Now I'm learning as I read about $
      $ is non-standard. $ isn't even in C's source character set.

      and # and even
      [ and ] in printf. I haven't seen that in my tutorials or if I remember
      correctly maybe not even kandr2.
      # is in my K&R (section B1.2 Formatted Output). I generally think
      Harbison
      and Steel is better for the library. There are online versions of the
      (draft but close to final) standard. And the C standard is pretty
      readable.

          Really! Be reasonable now.
