format - Bussyman - 04.09.2017

Hi,

What is difference between %i and %d ?

Re: format - Zeth - 04.09.2017

There is no difference in it, both are same. Check this for more information.

Technically there is a difference, but isn't important... The i from %i means integer aka not fractional number. The d from %d means decimal aka numbers in base 10, aka normal numbers.

So there is not specific situations when should i need to use %i or %d ?

Both are the same, check the wiki.

%i	Integer (whole number)
%d	Integer (whole number)
%s	String
%f	Floating-point number (Float: tag)
%c	ASCII character
%x	Hexadecimal number
%b	Binary number
%%	Literal '%'
%q	Escape a text for SQLite. (Added in 0.3.7 R2)

"D" there is basically "f" in PAWN (this includes SSCANF).

Use "i" and "d" for integers, use "f" for floating point numbers (or fractions/decimals/whatever).
