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]
