== How to declare and print in C? ==

This article does not seem to show how to declare or print quadruple-precision numbers in C, and hence was not useful for me. In fact, I have not been able to find a complete and clear description of this anywhere online! To declare float, and then print it, you do:

/* In variable declarations */

float n;

/* In main program */

printf("the number is %f", n);

I know also that to declare a double precision you do "double n" but I don't know how to print that either. However, using printf("the number is %f", n) also seems to work, but sometimes may not output all the digits I want.
