<s>[INST] In c++ when using printf() can you tell me all of the different variable types I can use, like %i, %f, etc. [/INST] Certainly! A list of all supported specifier characters is included below.

d or i - Signed integer
u - Unsigned integer
o - Unsigned octal
x - Unsigned hexadecimal integer, lowercase (e.g. "7fa")
X - Unsigned hexadecimal integer, uppercase (e.g. "7FA")
f - Decimal floating point, lowercase (e.g. "392.65")
F - Decimal floating point, uppercase (e.g. "392.65")
e - Scientific notation (mantissa/exponent), lowercase (e.g. "3.9265e+2")
E - Scientific notation (mantissa/exponent), uppercase (e.g. "3.9265E+2")
g - Use the shortest representation: %e or %f
G - Use the shortest representation: %E or %F	
a - Hexadecimal floating point, lowercase (e.g. "-0xc.90fep-2")
A - Hexadecimal floating point, uppercase (e.g. "-0XC.90FEP-2")
c - Character
s - String of characters
p - Pointer address
n - Nothing printed. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to a signed int. The number of characters written so far is stored in the pointed location
%	- A % followed by another % character will write a single % to the stream.

Note that the format specifier can also contain sub-specifiers, which specify whether text should be left or right justified, how precise floating point values should be, etc. Would you like additional details?</s>\ <s>[INST] Can you provide five examples using several of these variable types? [/INST] Absolutely! 

First, a quick reminder of the format of the Specifier Prototype format. The general prototype of format specifier for `printf()` is:

> `%[flags][width][.precision][length]specifier`

## Example of `%d` and `%s`:

```c
#include <cstdio>

int main() {
  int num = 5;
  char my_name[] = "Lincoln";

  // print string and int variable
  printf("num = %d \n", num);

  // print string and char array
  printf("My name is %s", my_name);

  return 0;
}
```

**Output:**

```bash
num = 5 
My name is Lincoln
```

## Example of `%f`, `%c`, `%d` and `%o`:

```c++
#include <cstdio>

int main() {
  char ch = 'a';
  float a = 5.0, b = 3.0;
  int num = 10;

  // set precision to 3 decimal places
  printf("%.3f / %.3f = %.3f \n", a, b, a / b);

  // set width to 5 digits with *
  printf("Setting width %*c \n", 5, ch);

  // get octal value of an integer
  printf("Octal equivalent of %d is %o", num, num);

  return 0;
}
```

**Output:**

```bash
5.000 / 3.000 = 1.667
Setting width a 
Octal equivalent of 10 is 12
```</s>
