2.1. Supported Conversions

Here are some of the supported conversions:

`%%`	An actual percent sign
`%c`	A character with the given ASCII number
`%s`	A string
`%d`	A signed integer, in decimal (also `%i`)
`%o`	An integer in octal
`%x`	An integer in hexadecimal. (use `%X` for uppercase hex)
`%e`	A floating point number, in scientific notation.
`%f`	A float in fixed decimal notation.
`%b`	An integer in binary

Here are some examples:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print sprintf("There is %i%% of alcohol in this beverage\n", 27);
print sprintf("%s%s\n", "This string", " ends here.");
print sprintf("650 in hex is 0x%x\n", 650);
print sprintf("650 in binary is 0b%b\n", 650);
print sprintf("3.2 + 1.6 == %f\n", 3.2+1.6);

And their output is:

There is 27% of alcohol in this beverage
This string ends here.
650 in hex is 0x28a
650 in binary is 0b1010001010
3.2 + 1.6 == 4.800000
