%d and %i

•%d and %i behave similar with printf

There is no difference between the %i and %d format specifiers for printf. 

•%d and %i behavior is different in scanf

%d assume base 10 while %i auto detects the base. Therefore, both specifiers 
behaves differently while they are used with an input specifier. So, 012 would 
be 10 with %i but 12 with %d. 

%d takes integer value as signed decimal integer i.e. it takes negative values
along with positive values but values should be in decimal otherwise it will 
print garbage value.( Note: if input is in octal format like:012 then %d will 
ignore 0 and take input as 12) 
 
%i takes integer value as integer value with decimal, hexadecimal or octal type.

To enter a value in hexadecimal format – value should be provided by preceding
“0x” and value in octal format – value should be provided by preceding “0”.
