I tried to look up the actions of printf("%n"), but it wasn't

(Before Format:)
Result type:
An optional character that indicates the type of the value for
use with format characters n, i, o, u and x. 'q' (or 'll') stands
for a quad int, 'l' for a long int, 'h' for a short int. Int is
default.
In the format characters:
n Returns the amount of characters output so far, including
formating actions. Requires a pointer value to write the value
to. Beware: this changes your parameter!
