This is a team project for the first year curriculum of ALX. _printf replicates the C standard library printf() function.
0. I'm not going anywhere. You can print that wherever you want to. I'm here and I'm a Spur for life
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
1. Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't
Handle the following conversion specifiers:
- d
- i
- 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
2. With a face like mine, I do better in print
Handle the following custom conversion specifiers:
- b: the unsigned int argument is converted to binary
3. What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print
Handle the following conversion specifiers:
- u
- o
- x
- X
- 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
4. Nothing in fine print is ever good news
Use a local buffer of 1024 chars in order to call write as little as possible.
5. My weakness is wearing too much leopard print
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
Handle the following conversion specifier: p.
- 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
7. The big print gives and the small print takes away
Handle the following flag characters for non-custom conversion specifiers:
-
- space
8. Sarcasm is lost in print
Handle the following length modifiers for non-custom conversion specifiers:
- l
- h
- Conversion specifiers to handle: d, i, u, o, x, X
9. Print some money and give it to us for the rain forests
10. The negative is the equivalent of the composer's score, and the print the performance
11. It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print
12. Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection
13. Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party
Handle the following custom conversion specifier:
- r : prints the reversed string
14. The flood of print has turned reading into a process of gulping rather than savoring
Handle the following custom conversion specifier:
- R: prints the rot13'ed string
15. *
All the above options work well together.
GOOD LUCK TO ME!!!
