Subject: what do the dots mean?
Date: Sun, 04 Sep 2005 13:55:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dfeaqa$qch$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)

I'm not able to understand the usage of dots (inside the printf's 
arguments) in the following code. Please enlighten me!

	[code]
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <time.h>
	
	main()
	{	
		time_t now;
			
		time(&now);
		printf("It's %.24s.\n", ctime(&now));
		
		system ("PAUSE");
		return 0;
	}
	[/code]
