\A little program containing a big problem.

\  int i = 17;
\  float f = 17.0;
\
\  printf("%d %f\n",i,i); /*1*/
\  printf("%d %f\n",f,f); /*2*/
\  }

I have seen various explanations, none of them pointing out the ONLY error:

	if you're telling printf() to expect an int (%d), SUPPLY it an int,
	instead of a float!
