any number of parameters. No limit!
zero or more it can be fixed or variable (printf is an example)
Not that difficult... int main (int argc, char **argv) { if (argc==1) printf ("No arguments\n"); else printf ("%d arguments\n", argc-1); goto END; END: return 0; }
# include<stdio.h> # include<conio.h> void main() { clrscr(); int a,b; printf ("Enter the first value:"); scanf ("%d",& a ); printf ("Enter the second value:"); scanf ("%d",& b ); printf ("\n\nBefor swaping the values "); printf ("\nThe first value is %d",a); printf ("\nThe second value is %d",b); printf ("\n\nAfter swaping the values "); printf ("\nThe first value is %d",b); printf ("\nThe second value is %d",a); }
== == What is printf in c or prototype of printf with example (q) What is prototype of printf function ? Explain each term. Ans: Prototype of printf function is : int printf( const char *format ,…) Explanation of each term : Parameter of printf function is : (three continuous dots) : It is called ellipsis. It indicates the variable number of arguments. Example of ellipsis: #include void ellipsis(int a,...); void main() { int a=5,b=10; clrscr(); ellipsis(a,b); getch(); } void ellipsis(int a,...) { printf("%d ",a); } Output:5 So printf function can have any number of variables as an argument.
#include<stdio.h> main() { int i; for(i=1;i<=1;i++) { printf("*",i); } printf("\n"); for(i=1;i<=3;i++) { printf("*",i); } printf("\n"); for(i=1;i<=5;i++) { printf("*",i); } printf("\n"); for(i=1;i<=3;i++) { printf("*",i); } printf("\n"); for(i=1;i<=1;i++) { printf("*",i); } }

Echo merely repeats its command line arguments as stated. The 'printf' command allows for formatted print and a more exacting method of printing out information. Printf requires you to specify the format of what you want to print; echo does not have this ability.
# include<stdio.h> # include<conio.h> void main() { clrscr(); int a,b; printf ("Enter the first value:"); scanf ("%d",& a ); printf ("Enter the second value:"); scanf ("%d",& b ); printf ("\n\nBefor swaping the values "); printf ("\nThe first value is %d",a); printf ("\nThe second value is %d",b); printf ("\n\nAfter swaping the values "); printf ("\nThe first value is %d",b); printf ("\nThe second value is %d",a); }
printf ("nested printf returned %d\n", printf ("inner printf\n"));
Too many arguments now = Too many arguments later

An arity is a number of arguments or operands a function or operation takes.
An arity is a number of arguments or operands a function or operation takes.
An adicity is the number of arguments or operands a function or operation takes.
