In a file I have made:
size_t bb;
bb = 3u;
printf("bb %d\n");
which prints:
bb 2280640
But what is 'u' and why does it print the above number? 7 2224

Prints garbage from stack, there is no argument given for %d.
Should be : printf("bb %d\n",bb);

'u' is a suffix to make your literal *unsigned*. It prints what you see
by *pure chance*. You provided the format specification (%d) but no
corresponding argument, so the behaviour of your program is undefined,
it can do whatever it wants. Search the web for "nasal demons" (with
quotes).

That prints 0 on one of my machines (big-endian, 16-bit int). %d specifies
an int, but size_t isn't necessarily an (unsigned) int. Since the subject
and group is C++, not C, the way to print it is
std::cout << bb;
If printf must be used for some reason, cast bb to an int, or better, use
unsigned long:
printf( "bb %lu\n", (unsigned long) bb );

Even then, %d and size_t don't match. Use %zu for size_t, as it might be
larger than an int.

Well, yes, non-portably. "%zu" is new with C99, and the C++ standard is
based on C90. The next version of the standard will provide "%zu".

It's the C99 format specifier for size_t.
