Format string attempts by nature try to "walk through" the STACK and read and write to arbitrary memory locations of a vulnerable functions.
%x format string shows the content of a memory in Hexadecimal and %n format string writes the number of bytes read so far to the given memory address.
Hope this helps.
It does. Thanks.
