+Chisel also supports printf in a style similar to [Scala's String Interpolation](http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/string-interpolation.html). Chisel provides a custom string interpolator `cf` which follows C-style format specifiers (see section [C-style](#c-style) below). Here's a few examples of using the `cf` interpolator:
 
 ```scala mdoc:invisible
 import chisel3._

 ```scala mdoc:compile-only
 val myUInt = 33.U
-printf(p"myUInt = $myUInt") // myUInt = 33

-We recognize that the format specifiers are verbose, so we are working on a more concise syntax.

 #### Aggregate data-types
 
 Chisel provides default custom "pretty-printing" for Vecs and Bundles. The default printing of a Vec is similar to printing a Seq or List in Scala while printing a Bundle is similar to printing a Scala Map.
 
 ```scala mdoc:compile-only
 val myVec = VecInit(5.U, 10.U, 13.U)
-printf(p"myVec = $myVec") // myVec = Vec(5, 10, 13)
