Printf

From SA-MP

printf

Outputs a formatted string on the console (the server window, not the in-game chat).

(const format[], {Float,_}:...)

format[]

The format string

{Float,_}:...

Indefinite number of arguments of any tag

This function does not return a specific value, it's best to simply ignore it.

[edit]

Format Strings

Placeholder	Meaning
%c	Inserts a single character.
%d	Inserts an integer (whole) number
%x	Inserts a number in hexadecimal notation.
%f	Inserts a floating point number.
%s	Inserts a string.
%%	Inserts the literal '%'

The values for the placeholders follow in the exact same order as parameters in the call.

You may optionally put a number between the '%' and the letter of the placeholder code. This number indicates the field width; if the size of the parameter to print at the position of the placeholder is smaller than the field width, the field is expanded with spaces.

new number = 42;
printf("The number is %d.",number);  //-> The number is 42.
 
new string[]= "simple message";
printf("This is a %s containing the number %d.", string, number); //-> This is a simple message containing the number 42.
