title: What is the difference between %f and %lf in C?
body: <p>I saw these two parameters in a C example in a C book but the author didn't elaborate what the difference between the two are. I know that <code>%f</code> specifies that a float should take its place. I tried looking this up but had a hard time trying to find this w symbols. What about <code>%lf</code>?</p>
