Hi Maffu, welcome to Wikibooks! I hope you like the place and choose to stay :)

I don't think splitting scanf/printf into its own section is a good idea. It's good to have some level of centralization - I'll move te stuff back, you can reply here if you have some disagreement if you like :)

Thanks, Dysprosia. I have no objection in the general. It just seemed that the scanf/printf section was going to get very long - between escape sequences, placeholders, etc. I thought it left a big hole, but figured it could be filled in easily enough. Don't you think this subsection is going to overwhelm the topic?

 * C's simple IO system can be covered by just considering scanf and printf for the moment. We can get into the more nitty-gritty stuff with files and getc and fprintf and all that other wonderful stuff in another section :) Dysprosia 23:11, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I guess I was referring to the other simple I/O methods. Can't get much simpler than gets, puts, and cout. These should at least be mentioned under the "simple" category. Maffu 23:20, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I tried to answer your question on the Staff lounge. --mav

C book and printf
Hello and greatings from the Wikipedia world. I went ahead and moved the C-specific content from the Wikipedia article on printf into the C book here, which it looks like you edit. You can take a look at what I did and move it around if you would like (I added a section to the end of the functions chapter) and linked to a new printf page from there. -- Zach (Zachlipton on Wikipedia). 63.197.31.110 01:36, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
