ft_printf

Welcome to ft_printf, a custom implementation of the classic C library function printf. This project is part of the 42 School curriculum, designed to deepen understanding of variadic functions in C and to replicate the functionality of the standard printf function with support for several format specifiers.

Overview

The ft_printf function aims to mimic the behavior of the standard C printf function, allowing formatted output to the standard output stream. This implementation serves as an excellent learning tool for C programming, focusing on handling variadic arguments, string parsing, and formatted output.

Features

• Format Specifiers: Supports a variety of format specifiers, including %c, %s, %p, %d, %i, %u, %x, %X, and %%.
• Width and Precision: Handles width and precision for numerical values, improving the formatting capabilities.
• Variadic Function Handling: Demonstrates the use of variadic functions to accept an undefined number of arguments.

Usage

To use ft_printf in your C projects, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository: Clone the ft_printf repository to your local machine.

   git clone https://github.com/byquangthanh/ft_printf.git

2. Compile the Library: Navigate to the cloned directory and compile the library using make.

   cd ft_printf
   make

   This command generates a libftprintf.a library file.
3. Include in Your Project: Include the ft_printf header in your C files.

   #include "ft_printf.h"

4. Link the Library: When compiling your project, link against libftprintf.a.

   cc -o your_program your_source_files -L. -lftprintf
