Printf Function Implementation

This repository contains an implementation of the printf function in C, which allows you to format and print various types of data to the standard output. The printf function is widely used in C programming for formatted printing.

Table of Contents

Description

The printf function in this implementation provides similar functionality to the standard printf in C. It supports the following format specifiers:

  • %c: Print a character.
  • %s: Print a string.
  • %d or %i: Print an integer.
  • %b: Print an unsigned integer in binary format.
  • %%: Print a percent sign.

Usage

To use the printf function in your C program, include the main.h header file and call the _printf function, providing the format string and any necessary arguments. Here's an example:

#include "main.h"

int main(void) {
    int char_count;

    char_count = _printf("Hello, %s! You have %d apples.\n", "John", 42);
    return (0);
}

Functionality

  • print_char: Prints a character.
  • print_string: Prints a string.
  • print_int: Prints an integer.
  • print_binary: Prints an unsigned integer in binary format.
  • handle_format_specifier: Handles format specifiers and delegates printing to the appropriate functions.
  • _printf: The main printf function that takes the format string and variable arguments.

How to Compile

Compile your program with the provided main.c file and your source files. For example:

gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic main.c your_file.c -o your_program

Examples

Here are some example usages of the printf function:

_printf("Hello, %s!\n", "World");
_printf("The answer is %d.\n", 42);
_printf("Binary representation of %d is %b.\n", 10, 10);
_printf("A percent sign: %%\n");
