How can you print multiple variables inside a string using printf?

Question

I want to find the maximum value of two numbers, and print it. I want to print all three numbers. I am using the following code.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
     //clrscr();
     int a,b,c;
     printf("insert two numbers:");
     scanf("%d%d", &a, &b);
     c = (a>b) ? a : b;
     printf("\nmaximum of %d",a," and %d",b,"  is = %d" c);
     getch();

}

However, I receive two syntax errors (Please find the attached figure). Could anybody help me out with it?

Put the '\n' at the end not the begining because it might not print anything unless another '\n' occurs or you explicitly call fflush(). Also, don't learn conio.h if you can and main() must return int. — Iharob Al Asimi

Change the line where you print the output to:

printf("\nmaximum of %d and %d is = %d",a,b,c);

See the docs here
