C printf using %d and %f

by

%d stands for decimal and it expects an argument of type int (or some smaller signed integer type that then gets promoted). Floating-point types float and double both get passed the same way (promoted to double) and both of them use %f. In C99 you can also use %lf to signify the larger size of double, but this is purely cosmetic (notice that with scanf no promotion occurs and this actually makes a difference).
