Use the printf function with formatting options.

#include <stdio.h>

main(){

  int x;
  float y;
  char c;

  x = -4443;
  y = 554.21;
  c = 'M';

  printf("\nThe value of integer variable x is %d", x);
  printf("\nThe value of float variable y is %f", y);
  printf("\nThe value of character variable c is %c\n", c);

}

The value of integer variable x is -4443
      The value of float variable y is 554.210022
      The value of character variable c is M

Conversion specifiers are made up of two characters: % and a special character.

The special character tells the program how to convert the data.
