ft_printf - 42 Network

Overview

This project is focused on recreating the printf function from the C standard library. Through this implementation, you will gain an understanding of variadic functions, how formatted output works, and how to handle different data types dynamically.

Project Scope

In this project, you will:

• Implement a function similar to printf with support for various format specifiers.
• Learn about variadic functions using stdarg.h.
• Handle different data types, including:
  • %c → Single character
  • %s → String
  • %p → Pointer address
  • %d / %i → Signed decimal integer
  • %u → Unsigned decimal integer
  • %x / %X → Hexadecimal representation
  • %% → Percent sign

Learning Outcomes

• Understanding and implementing variadic functions.
• Managing formatted output efficiently.
• Deepening knowledge of memory management and buffer handling.
• Preparing for future projects where ft_printf will be reused.
