Comments

first of all my intension was 2 make u ..understand not argue.

second of all ..u cannot intermix... arjun sir statement and ur statement...wat u said is totally different from arjun sir..and i knw wat arjun said

third of all..."Means it is not mentioned anywhere that ram was the only one in ramayana it can be in mahabharat in the form of krishna."....is true.

   but u cannot relate it to printf statement in c ....so that it can be cout in c++, ///print in python

as it was ram in ramayana & krishna in mahabharta.....

////////printf means "c" language...till now..i think no other language has same printing commanad...yet

fourth of all...accept it...if u committed mistakes..u will grow higher

fifth of all...m sorry if it hearted u...

Don't take it serious I am just kidding okay  and my comment was not on question or any answer i commented on arjun sir comment as they said in their comment " I don't think ASCII is mandated by C language " 

I just commented on it that 

it is not mentioned anywhere that this piece of code anyway related to C language.

because they did not say in question that Consider C-Language to answer this question.
