For ">9" can display up to 2 digit positive number, (OR) cant display negative number.
For ">>9" can display up to 3 digit positive number, (OR) cant display negative number.
For "->9" can display up to 3 digit positive number, (OR) up to 2 digit negative number.
So in the interger case, the given format string can display up to 7 digit positive number, (OR) can display up to 6 digit negative number.
