in reply to Using (s)printf()

Under "Format Specifiers" I see "printf(*quot;%+d", 7);" -- it looks like that leading asterisk "*" should be an ampersand "&" so that the double quote character will be displayed instead of "*quot;"

    printf(*quot;%+d", 7); # prints '+7'

    should be:

    printf("%+d", 7); # prints '+7'
