They are string format specifiers. Basically, %d is for integers, %f for floats, %c for chars and %s for strings. printf("I have been learning %c for %d %s.", 'C', 42, "days"); Output: "I have been learning C for 42 days."

GeneralZod I didn't say that strings are primitive data types in C. But an array of chars is commonly referred to as a "string", and that's what %s is for /Btw: https://codeforwin.org/2015/05/list-of-all-format-specifiers-in-c-programming.html => format specifier: %s, supported data type: char*, description: "string".

printf("I like %c%s", 'C', " very much!"); %c Character %s String of characters To print an individual character, use %c. This causes its matching argument to be output, unmodified, to the screen. To print a string, use %s.

GeneralZod an array is not a class, it is data structures. And there is also array of int or floats too.
