Sprintf function : sends formatted output to String

Live Example :
int age = 23 ; char str[100]; sprintf( str , "My age is %d",age); puts(str);
Output of Above Program :
My age is 23
Analysis of Source Code : – Just keep in mind that
- Assume that we are using printf then we get output “My age is 23”
- What does printf does ? —– Just Print the Result on the Screen
- Similarly Sprintf stores result “My age is 23” into string str instead of printing it.
