Summary: This project is pretty straight forward. You will recode printf. Hopefully you will be able to reuse it in future projects without the fear of being flagged as a cheater. You will mainly learn how to use variadic arguments.
Introduction : The versatility of the printf function in C represents a great exercise in programming for us. This project is of moderate difficulty. It will enable you to discover variadic functions in C. The key to a successful ft_printf is a well-structured and good extensible code.
Open a terminal and run following command:
git clone <repository url>
Go to the created repository and run following command:
make
Make sure that libftprintf.a and ft_printf.h are in the same directory that you want to call ft_printf from. Include ft_printf.h in your files
#include "ft_printf.h"Compile your files with libftprintf.a
gcc yourfile_01.c libftprintf.aUse clean to delete all object files, fclean to remove all object files and libftprintf.a and re to recompile the library
make clean / make fclean / make reThe following format specifiers of the original printf function are reproduced :
| Format specifier | Description |
|---|---|
| %d | print a decimal (base 10) number |
| %i | print an integer in base 10 |
| %u | print an unsigned decimal (base 10) number |
| %x | print a number in hexadecimal (base 16) (lowercase) |
| %X | print a number in hexadecimal (base 16) (uppercase) |
| %c | print a single character |
| %s | print a string of characters |
| %p | The void * pointer argument is printed in hexadecimal |
| %% | print a percent sign |
