why does %d stand for Integer?

Question

I know this doesn\'t sound productive, but I\'m looking for a way to remember all of the formatting codes for printf calls. %s, %p,

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf_format_string seems to say that it's for decimal as I had guessed

d,i

int as a signed decimal number. '%d' and '%i' are synonymous for output, but are different when used with scanf() for input (using %i will interpret a number as hexadecimal if it's preceded by 0x, and octal if it's preceded by 0.)
