0x11. C - printf C Group project By: Julien Barbier, co-founder & CEO Weight: 5 Project to be done in teams of 2 people (your team: Amukelani Sibuyi, Michael Chinemerem) Ongoing second chance project - started Oct 14, 2022 6:00 AM, must end by Oct 22, 2022 6:00 AM An auto review will be launched at the deadline In a nutshell… Contribution: 100.0% Auto QA review: 101.0/101 mandatory & 1121.0/1123 optional Altogether: 199.82% Mandatory: 100.0% Optional: 99.82% Contribution: 100.0% Calculation: 100.0% * (100.0% + (100.0% * 99.82%) ) == 199.82% Concepts For this project, we expect you to look at these concepts:

printf (3) Requirements General Allowed editors: vi, vim, emacs All your files will be compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using gcc, using the options -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89 All your files should end with a new line A README.md file, at the root of the folder of the project is mandatory Your code should use the Betty style. It will be checked using betty-style.pl and betty-doc.pl You are not allowed to use global variables No more than 5 functions per file In the following examples, the main.c files are shown as examples. You can use them to test your functions, but you don’t have to push them to your repo (if you do we won’t take them into account). We will use our own main.c files at compilation. Our main.c files might be different from the one shown in the examples The prototypes of all your functions should be included in your header file called main.h Don’t forget to push your header file All your header files should be include guarded Note that we will not provide the _putchar function for this project GitHub There should be one project repository per group. The other members do not fork or clone the project to ensure only one of the team has the repository in their github account otherwise you risk scoring 0%
More Info Authorized functions and macros write (man 2 write) malloc (man 3 malloc) free (man 3 free) va_start (man 3 va_start) va_end (man 3 va_end) va_copy (man 3 va_copy) va_arg (man 3 va_arg) Compilation Your code will be compiled this way: $ gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89 *.c As a consequence, be careful not to push any c file containing a main function in the root directory of your project (you could have a test folder containing all your tests files including main functions) Our main files will include your main header file (main.h): #include main.h You might want to look at the gcc flag -Wno-format when testing with your _printf and the standard printf. Example of test file that you could use: alex@ubuntu:~/c/printf$ cat main.c #include <limits.h> #include <stdio.h> #include "main.h"

- I'm not going anywhere. You can print that wherever you want to. I'm here and I'm a Spur for life mandatory Score: 100.0% (Checks completed: 100.0%) 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.
