printf() is a major predefined output function in C that is used for formatted and unformatted output. It takes a format string as the first argument, followed by additional arguments that correspond to format specifiers in the string. printf() returns the number of characters printed and sends output to the standard output device like a monitor. Backslash escape sequences in printf() format strings control formatting but are not printed as part of the output.
