Printf

Recreating a versatile output function

This repository houses my implementation of the _printf function in C, replicating the core functionality of the standard printf function from the standard input/output library.

Objectives

• Master C Programming: Deepen Understanding of C syntax, control flow, variable manipulation, and function design
• Conquer formatting: Grasp the intricacies of formatted output, including conversion specifiers and string manipulation.
• Embrace Complex data handling: Learn to manage diverse data types (characters, integers, strings) and their appropriate output representations.

Key Features:

• Formats and Prints: Produces formatted output to the console based on specified format specifiers.
• Handles Various datatypes: Supports printing of characters, strings, integers, and other fundamental data types.
• Flexible Output Customization: Allows for precision control, field width adjustment, and other formatting options.

Testing

To test the _printf function, you can either modify the file tests/main.c or create a new file in the tests folder that you wan to use for testing then you have to compile and run this way:

gcc *.c tests/{testfile} -o printf
./printf

Replace {testfile} with the name of the test file.

Some things to check when testing the function:

• Experiment with different format specifiers and data types to verify functionality.
• Compare output with the original printf function for consistency.
• Utilize test cases to ensure accuracy across various scenarios.

Contributions

• Feel free to suggest enhancements or reports via pull requests.
• Collaborate to expand functionality and refine implementation
