Where can I find info on these
Author
Ok I know that these are C functions but I did not know I would need to use them until I started messing with SDL.
for instance
printf = prints to screen I know that
sprintf
sscanf
scanf
%s = seems to be a normal variable inserted it place of this
%d = seems to be a address inserted in place of this
Check out Cone3D's C lessons. There are some explanations there. But for your convience, I will explain a few for you.
printf as you know prints to the screen. It's sorta the equivilent to cout.
scanf gets input. It's similar to cin.
%d and %s are used in printf and scanf. %d stands for integer and %s is a string. There is also %f with of course is a float. I think %d is a double as well. Thats as much as I can remember.

It seems silly to supply the links when you can just as easily look it up on MSDN. But, here you go.

As a side note if youre just learning C
if youve got money and you find yourself frequently asking yourself "how did i use this again?" or "what was the arg order here?" and youre like me and would rather not go google it and wade through all the python and perl pages that come up now, id highly reccomend grabbing a a copy of the K&R book (The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie)
This book I probably the most used book that I own actually, the thing practically falls open to page 250 now (string functions) given how often i forget argument orders
