- Summary: A question from a novice about the humble printf function.
- X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B final beta #4]
-
- I have just begun learning C++ with a book and tutorial package which is less
- than satisfactory. I just need someone to tell what the syntax is of a
- `printf' command which allows quotation marks to be in the body of the text
- (i.e. as it appears in DOS), and not simply to operate in a function...
-
- Thanks for your help,
-
