[C language] Printf statement line break

I forgot how to properly “cut” long pieces of printf, so I decided to write this cheat sheet.

Let’s say you have a long printf expression and you need to break it into several smaller ones for readability (or to fit when embedding on a site, for example). There are three ways:

1. quotes

   printf("New line "
   "please");

2. backslash

   printf("New line \
   please");

3. several printf

   printf("New line ");
   printf("please");

   So it goes. You can’t just take and … break the string inside the quotes. However, remember that you can safely do this for arguments, for example, like this:

   printf("New %d line %c",
   argument1, argument2);
