Displaying Output Values Left-Justified

      If a minus sign (-) is specified before the field width, the output value will be displayed left-justified.
Suppose the value of x = 62, and y = 716. To display the values of 'x' and 'y' left-justified, the statement is written as;
           printf ( "%-5d  %-8d" ,  x,  y) ;

           The  value  xy  =  A
