Always been a mystery to me... I just copy pasta typically.

\r - return character, moves cursor to beginning of current line.
\n - newline character, moves cursor down by one.

%d is for ints. You can search online for other variable types. This will display the entire variable.

%3d means display a int three digits in length.

%.3f means display a float with as many digits before the decimal as it needs, but limit it to three digits after the decimal.

%3.2f means display a float with three digits before the decimal, and two digits after the decimal.


All this is off of the top of my head, and may not be correct.


P.S. I like copying pasta as well. Yummy pasta.
