 sprintf()               Write Formatted Data to String

 #include   <stdio.h>

 int        sprintf(buffer,format-string[,argument...]);
 char       *buffer;                     Storage location for output
 const char *format-string;              Format-control string

    sprintf() formats a series of characters and values and stores them
    in 'buffer'.  sprintf() operates identically to printf(), with the
    exception that sprintf() "prints" to a buffer, while printf() prints
    to 'stdout'.  With that single exception, the two functions are
    identical; see the printf() function for a complete description of
    the format-string and arguments.

  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statements format and store data in 'buffer'.

           #include <stdio.h>

           char buffer[100];
           char *name = "Ali Rae";
           char age = '1';
           char s = 'F';

           main()
           {
               sprintf(buffer,"%s, %c, %c",name,age,s);
               printf("Birthdays this month: %s\n",buffer);
           }
