+ Tutorial: This tutorial is about how to use printf function in c language.
+           - Printf() is one of the primary output functions in C programming. A prepared output is sent to the screen by the function.
+           - We must use the #include <stdio.h> declaration to include the stdio.h header file in order to use printf() in our application.
+           - We use %d format specifier to print int types. %d gets replaced by the variable's value.
+           - To print float, we use %f format specifier.
+           - to print char, we use %c format specifier.
+           - To print double type , we use %lf format specifier.
+           - You can also perform some arithmetic operations in it.
+           - printf function returns the number of characters printed and negative if error occurs

+Challenge: Take input from user in variable a and b, print number of elements present in each variable and then print sum of number of
+            elements present in a and b.
+            example: 
+              - a = 12343212 and b = 887788
+              - number of elements in a is 8 and in b is 6.
+              - sum is 14.
