In the world of assembler language, when you call printf(), you do:
push arg_N
push arg_N-1
..
push arg1
push format
call _printf
But how does printf() here know how many arguments are passed in?
It just walks along the string, consuming parameters as it finds %-format items. If there are less arguments than %-items, then something awful happens.
