[c++] What is the difference between conversion specifiers %i and %d in formatted IO functions (*printf / *scanf)

They are the same when used for output, e.g. with printf.

However, these are different when used as input specifier e.g. with scanf, where %d scans an integer as a signed decimal number, but %i defaults to decimal but also allows hexadecimal (if preceded by 0x) and octal (if preceded by 0).

So 033 would be 27 with %i but 33 with %d.
