In C, how do I print this?

Question

I need to print the following on one line:

an integer, followed by a string, and a different string.
(and then next line)

EX: 5 is a nice number, 7 however is not.

I'm a bit confused by C's printf functions, can't figure out how to do this.

And what is actually %d/n?

Thanx in advance for any help!

%d  is the printf specifier to print an int in decimal format.
/n prints the characters / and n
if you want a new line print &#92;n

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){

char * s1="is a nice number.";
char * s2="however is not.";
int a,b;
a=5;
b=7;
printf("%d %s %d %s&#92;n",a,s1,b,s2);

use the format strings eg:

int x = 5
int y = 7
printf("%d is a nice numer, %d however is not &#92;n", x ,y)

the order that the variables are placed is the order in which they will be printed out

%d is to indicate that the value will be in form of decimal values.
/n for new character line 

eg .
printf("/n hellow /n frnd");

hellow
frnd
