ft_printf

A boiled down printf implementation

---

Overview:

This project involves the creation of a custom implementation of the printf function in the C programming language. printf is a standard output formatting function that is widely used in C and other programming languages. The goal of this project is to create a simplified version of printf, supporting a subset of format specifiers and providing essential functionality for formatting and printing output.

Files:

1. ft_printf.c: The main file containing the implementation of the printf function.
2. ft_printf.h: The header file declaring function prototypes and any necessary data structures or constants.
3. ft_printf_utils.c: Utility functions used by the printf implementation for various tasks.
4. ft_flag_utils.c: Utility functions for handling format flags in the printf function.
5. ft_flags.c: Implementation of handling various format flags.
6. ft_generic_utils.c: Generic utility functions that support the printf implementation.
7. ft_hex_format_utils.c: Utilities for handling hexadecimal format specifiers.
8. ft_int_format_utils.c: Utilities for handling integer format specifiers.
9. ft_ldtoa.c: Functions for converting long doubles to ASCII strings.
10. ft_print_char.c: Implementation for printing characters.
11. ft_print_hex.c: Implementation for printing hexadecimal values.
12. ft_print_hex_utils.c: Utilities for printing hexadecimal values.
13. ft_print_int.c: Implementation for printing integers.
14. ft_print_int_utils.c: Utilities for printing integers.
15. ft_print_percent.c: Implementation for printing the '%' character.
16. ft_print_pointer.c: Implementation for printing pointer addresses.
17. ft_print_string.c: Implementation for printing strings.
18. ft_print_uint.c: Implementation for printing unsigned integers.
19. ft_print_uint_utils.c: Utilities for printing unsigned integers.
20. ft_ptoa.c: Functions for converting pointers to ASCII strings.
21. ft_uint_format_utils.c: Utilities for handling unsigned integer format specifiers.
22. ft_xtoa.c: Functions for converting integers to hexadecimal ASCII strings.

Project Goals:

1. Implement a simplified version of the printf function that supports basic format specifiers.
2. Handle various format flags, such as width, precision, and alignment.
3. Support a subset of conversion specifiers, including characters, strings, integers, hexadecimal, and pointers.
4. Create utility functions to enhance code modularity and maintainability.
5. Test the printf implementation with a variety of input cases to ensure correctness and reliability.

Usage:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kbly538/ft_printf.git
   cd ft_printf

2. Build the Project

   make

To use the custom printf implementation, include the "ft_printf.h" header file in your C source code and call the ft_printf function with the desired format string and arguments.
