You will need to represent your float as an int. That means you need to make an int out of the whole part and the decimal part. Then you print using %d, then a dot for the decimal point and then another %d.

If you're working through this practical programming book on your own then I wouldn't worry about solving this particular problem. There is little practical value in jumping through hoops to print a floating point value using only integer formatted output.
