Hi printf is a function that prints something on the output screen.
scanf is also a function but a function that takes the user's input.
See this LINK and this LINK.

\n is the new line character used in C and many other languages. It ends the line with a carriage return.

No problem
CODE

print("Hello, how are you?");

produces the following
QUOTE

Hello, how are you?

while
CODE

print("Hello, \n how are you?");

produces
QUOTE

Hello,
how are you?

It forces the insertion of a new line, meaning that the text following the newline character will be displayed on another line.

\t is the tab delimiter - all other portions of the explanation hold the same.

Actually, it now appears I'm simply completing your homework. I won;t do that, but will help you find the answers.

Do you know what a tab is? the tab key on your keyboard? Do you know what that key does when you press it?
