How to print a long number in C?

Question

Hello I am very new to C but have some experience with python and would like to know how to print the outputs for the credit.c so I know what I am dealing with. I have this code and when I get to the print statement I have an error and do not know how to fix this in C. This would be nice to debug easier.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>
int main(void)
{
long long int input, total;

do
{
    input = get_long_long();
}
while(input < 0);

total = input % 10;
printf(total);

I get the error

 --credit.c:15:12: error: incompatible integer to pointer conversion passing 
 'long long' to parameter of type 'const char *' [-Werror,-Wint-conversion]- 
 -

It would be cool to figure this out so I am sure I know exactly what my code is doing. -Thanks

Answer 1

If you want to print a variable in C, you have to have a format code, much like formatted printing in python.

printf("%lli", total);

where "%lli" is the format specifier for a long long int.

Answer 2

long long p; { printf("%lli\n", p); }

when you need to print long long you must use %lli to represent long long
