Is it at all possibleto use %(%d)d or something similiar to this instead of %3d in C programming

Question

I was specifically trying to print integer type using %3d but out of curiosity I want to know if it is at all possible to print %(%d)d, considering 3 could be an integer. Tried searching a lot online but only could find basics of %d,%f` etc.

Yes, you write %*d, see the linked answer. – zwol Dec 12 '15 at 14:52 — zwol, Dec 12 '15 at 14:52

You can print on a variable width with this syntax:

printf("%*d", width, number);
