104 PointsQuestion for fundamentals of objective c with a code challenge.
question is... Add a printf statement to print the radius variable. Here is what your output should look like: A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches.
my answer is... float radius = 14.5; printf("A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches %f\n");
I have no idea. Any help would do. Thanks

38,442 PointsFormat specifiers are meant to make the string more dynamic. What you have is an error. The point of using format specifiers (%f, %d, etc.) is so that you may update the value in the string, if it's ever to change.
- 14.5 should be replaced with %f
- You didn't pass your variable to printf as an argument, so no value is being supplied where %f is
float price = 20.99;
printf("My meal came out to be %f dollars.", price);
Let's say the cashier decides to give me a 20% discount.
float price = 20.99
float discount = .20 * price;
price -= discount;
printf("My meal came out to be %f dollars.", price);
My value updates without the need to statically type the new price in.
Also, this is an Obj-C question, not General Discussion.
