C formatting help

[cpu-guy]

Hi I have a assignment about formatting C
this is the assignment

print_patterns(int i, double d) - Print 10 lines as specified below.
* Lines 1 and 2 are fixed patterns with 20 characters each.
* Line 3-6 are for integer i (sample value 123).
* Line 7-10 are for double d (sample value 456.789).
*
* LINE# DISPLAYED PATTERN COMMENTS
* 1 12345678901234567890 fixed pattern
* 2 -------------------- fixed pattern
* 3 123 ends at the 10th position
* 4 123 starts from the 11th position
* 5 00000000000000000123 flushes to the right, with padding
* 6 123 123 two occurrences, flush to both ends
* 7 456.789 flushes to the right, no padding
* 8 0000000000000456.789 flushes to the right, with padding
* 9 0000000456.789000000 decimal point at 11th position, with padding
* 10 00456.78900 decimal point at 11th position, pads to 5 digits
* before and after decimal point

so far I got them to line 7, but I have no idea how to do 8,9,10 any one can help ?

There are two parts for the field width using %f. The first part is the total width including radix and precision. The second part is the width of the precision. A leading 0 will change the padding from whitespace to zeros:

printf("%020.3f\n", 123.456); /* Line 8 */
printf("%020.9f\n", 123.456); /* Line 9 */
printf("%011.5f\n", 123.456); /* Line 10 */

thanks man, but for line 10 how you I can move the decimal point to the 11th position ?

this my code

void print_patterns(int i, double d)
{
printf ( "%s\n", "12345678901234567890");
printf ( "%s\n", "--------------------");
printf ( "%-10d\n", i);
printf ( "%13d\n", i);
printf ( "%.20d\n", i);
printf ( "%d              %d\n", i, i);
printf ( "%20.3lf\n", d);
printf("%020.3f\n", d);
printf("%020.9f\n", d);
printf("%011.5f\n", d);
}

Do the math. What total length less the specified precision will place your radix at the 11th position?

you mean like this

printf("%016.5f\n", d);

but I need to look like this

LINE#   DISPLAYED PATTERN       COMMENTS
 *   1       12345678901234567890    fixed pattern
 *   2       --------------------    fixed pattern
 *   3              123              ends at the 10th position
 *   4                 123           starts from the 11th position
 *   5       00000000000000000123    flushes to the right, with padding
 *   6       123              123    two occurrences, flush to both ends
 *   7                    456.789    flushes to the right, no padding
 *   8       0000000000000456.789    flushes to the right, with padding
 *   9       0000000456.789000000    decimal point at 11th position, with padding
 *  10            00456.78900        decimal point at 11th position, pads to 5 digits
 *                                     before and after decimal point

How I can get rid of the leading zeros ?
