C Language Undefined behavior Using incorrect format specifier in printf
Example
Using an incorrect format specifier in the first argument to printf invokes undefined behavior.
For example, the code below invokes undefined behavior:
long z = 'B';
printf("%c\n", z);
Here is another example
printf("%f\n",0);
Above line of code is undefined behavior. %f expects double. However 0 is of type int.
Note that your compiler usually can help you avoid cases like these, if you turn on the proper flags during compiling (-Wformat in clang and gcc). From the last example:
warning: format specifies type 'double' but the argument has type
'int' [-Wformat]
printf("%f\n",0);
~~ ^
%d
