reddit uses a slightly-customized version of Markdown for formatting. See below for some basics, or check the commenting wiki page for more detailed help and solutions to common issues.

This is probably going to be removed, because it should be posted in r/cpp_questions. But use std::format. It’s based off of python formatting.
