Escape sequences begin with a backslash \:
\n new line
\t horizontal tab
\\ backslash
\b backspace
\' single quote
\" double quote

Format specifiers begin with a percent sign % and are replaced by corresponding arguments after the format string. A format specifier can include several options along with a conversion character:
%[-][width].[precision]conversion character 
The optional - specifies left alignment of the data in the string.
The optional width gives the minimum number of characters for the data.
The period . separates the width from the precision.
The optional precision gives the number of decimal places for numeric data. If s is used as the conversion character, then precision determines the number of characters to print.
The conversion character converts the argument, if necessary, to the indicated type:
d decimal
c character
s string
f float
e scientific notation
x hexadecimal

For example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Color: %s, Number: %d, float: %5.2f \n", "red", 42, 3.14159);
    /* Color: red, Number: 42, float:  3.14  */

    printf("Pi = %3.2f \n", 3.14159); 
    /* Pi = 3.14 */
    
    printf("Pi = %8.5f \n", 3.14159); 
    /* Pi = 3.14159 */
    
    printf("Pi = %-8.5f \n", 3.14159); 
    /* Pi = 3.14159 */
    
    printf("There are %d %s in the tree. \n", 22, "apples");
    /* There are 22 apples in the tree. */
}
