Hey Ravi , printf : output to the standard output stream (stdout ) sprintf: goes to a buffer you allocated (char *) printf : printf ("format", args) is used to print the data onto the standard output which often a computer monitor. sprintf: sprintf(char*, "format", args) is like printf. instead on displaying the formated string on the standard output i.e. a monitor, it stores the formated data in a string pointed to by the char pointer . the string location is the only difference between printf and sprintf syntax. example for sprintf char *p ; sprintf (p," %s", Mock); Hope I answered your question .
