#### 14.2.10 Other Output Conversions

This section describes miscellaneous conversions for `printf`.

The ‘`%c`’ conversion prints a single character. The ‘`-`’ flag can be used to specify left-justification in the field, but no other flags are defined, and no precision or type modifier can be given. For example:

    printf ("%c%c%c%c%c", "h", "e", "l", "l", "o");

prints ‘`hello`’.

The ‘`%s`’ conversion prints a string. The corresponding argument must be a string. A precision can be specified to indicate the maximum number of characters to write; otherwise characters in the string up to but not including the terminating null character are written to the output stream. The ‘`-`’ flag can be used to specify left-justification in the field, but no other flags or type modifiers are defined for this conversion. For example:

    printf ("%3s%-6s", "no", "where");

prints ‘`nowhere` ’ (note the leading and trailing spaces).
