Introduction

This printf project aims to recreate the functionality of the standard C library function printf(). The printf() function is widely used in C programming for printing formatted output.

Files

• .gitignore: Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore.
• _printf.c: Contains the implementation of the custom printf function.
• handle_flags.c: Includes functions for handling different flags in the printf format string.
• main.c: Entry point of the program for testing the printf function.
• main.h: Header file containing function prototypes and necessary includes.
• print_binary.c: Includes functions for printing binary numbers.
• print_custom_string.c: Includes functions for printing custom string formats.
• print_hex_oct.c: Includes functions for printing hexadecimal and octal numbers.
• README.md: This file, containing project documentation.

Usage

To use the printf function in your C program, include the main.h header file and call the printf() function with the desired format string and arguments.

Example:

#include "main.h"

int main(void) {
    int num = 42;
    _printf("The answer to everything is: %d\n", num);
    return 0;
}
