Sure I understand that it is possible to end up printing whole sections of your program, but the error will be obvious at run-time and being able to write printf(" This is a title for a list of variables %d %d %d %d %d %d", a,b,c,d,e,f) would be very convenient and, I think, much more legible than printf ("\n\t\tThis is a title for a list of variables\n\ %d\t%d\t%d\t%d\t%d\t%d",a,b,c,d,e,f)
