title: Format specifier of _int8 data type in C
body: <p>What is the format specifier for an _int8 data type?</p>
  
  <p>I am using "%hd" but it is giving me an error about stack corruption. Thanks :)</p>
  
  <p>This is a snippet of the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>signed _int8 answer;
  
  printf("----Technology Quiz----\n\n");
  printf("The IPad came out in which year?\n");
  printf("Year: ");
  scanf("%hd", &amp;answer);
  printf("\n\n");
  printf("The answer you provided was: %hd\n\n", answer);
  </code></pre>
