ft_printf

ft_printf is a custom implementation of the standard C library's printf function. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the ability to handle variadic functions, formatting, and different data types for output. It behaves similarly to the original printf but with your own custom implementation.

📝 Overview

This project involves the creation of a printf function that mimics the behavior of the standard C library's printf, but is fully implemented from scratch. It supports the majority of the common format specifiers such as %d, %i, %u %s, %c, %x, %X, %p and %%. The goal is to understand variadic functions and gain deeper experience with C string handling.

✨ Features

• Handles various format specifiers, including:
  • %d or %i for integers
  • %s for strings
  • %c for characters
  • %x or %X for hexadecimal numbers
  • %u for unsigned integers
  • %p for pointer addresses
  • %% to print a literal % character.
• Flexible and customizable implementation that simulates the standard printf function's behavior.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• GCC or any C-compatible compiler
• make

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ft_printf.git
   cd ft_printf

2. Compile the project:

    make
   

Testing the Function To test ft_printf, create a C file that includes ft_printf.h, call the function, and print various formatted outputs.

Example main.c:

#include "ft_printf.h"

int main() {
    int a = 42;
    char c = 'A';
    char *str = "Hello, World!";
    
    ft_printf("Integer: %d\n", a);
    ft_printf("Character: %c\n", c);
    ft_printf("String: %s\n", str);
    return 0;
}

Example Output Given the following code:

ft_printf("Integer: %d\n", 42);
ft_printf("Character: %c\n", 'A');
ft_printf("String: %s\n", "Hello, World!");

The expected output would be:

Integer: 42
Character: A
String: Hello, World!
