The items that appear inside brackets are optional.

 %—All format specifiers begin with a % character.


 flags—After the %character, one or more optional flags may appear.
Flags cause the value to be formatted in a variety of ways.
 width—After any flags, you can optionally specify the minimum field
width for the value.
 .precision—If the value is a floating-point number, after the minimum
field width, you can optionally specify the precision. This is the number
of decimal places that the number should be rounded to.
 conversion—All format specifiers must end with a conversion
character, such as f for floating-point, or d for decimal integer.
