printf project

• This is the printf Group Project that I will be working on together with Bunmi Akinola in creating our own printf function.
• We will be both contributing an Equal as possible == 40/60 contribution from respective partners using their own usernames.
• This is what is called pair programming.

0. I'm not going anywhere. You can print that wherever you want to. I'm here and I'm a Spur for life

• mandatory
• Write a function that produces output according to a format.

• Prototype: int _printf(const char *format, ...);
• Returns: the number of characters printed (excluding the null byte used to end output to strings)
• write output to stdout, the standard output stream
• format is a character string. The format string is composed of zero or more directives. See man 3 printf for more detail. You need to handle the following conversion specifiers:
• c
• s
• %
• You don’t have to reproduce the buffer handling of the C library printf function
• You don’t have to handle the flag characters
• You don’t have to handle field width
• You don’t have to handle precision
• You don’t have to handle the length modifiers

5. My weakness is wearing too much leopard print

• advanced
• Handle the following custom conversion specifier:

• S : prints the string.
• Non printable characters (0 < ASCII value < 32 or >= 127) are printed this way: \x, followed by the ASCII code value in hexadecimal (upper case - always 2 characters)

6. How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print

• advanced
