%i or %d to print integer in C using printf()?

They are completely equivalent when used with printf(). Personally, I prefer %d, it’s used more often (should I say “it’s the idiomatic conversion specifier for int“?). (One difference between %i and %d is that when used with scanf(), then %d always expects a decimal integer, whereas %i recognizes the 0 and 0x prefixes as octal and hexadecimal, but no sane programmer uses scanf() anyway so this should not be a concern.)
