Because ft_putnbr() and ft_putstr() aren’t enough
The goal of this project is to recode printf(). This exercise provides an opportunity to improve programming skills, especially in dealing with a variable number of arguments. Upon successful completion, you can integrate your ft_printf() into your libft for use in other school C projects.
I. Introduction
II. Common Instructions
III. Mandatory Part
IV. Bonus Part
V. Submission and Peer-Evaluation
Discover the popular and versatile C function, printf(). This exercise enhances programming skills and introduces variadic functions in C. A successful ft_printf requires well-structured and extensible code. After completion, integrate ft_printf() into your libft for future use.
- Project must be written in C.
- Follow the Norm for coding standards.
- Functions should not quit unexpectedly, and memory must be properly managed.
- Submit a Makefile for compilation.
- Include basic Makefile rules:
$(NAME),all,clean,fclean, andre. - To turn in bonuses, include a
bonusrule in your Makefile. - If using libft, copy its sources and associated Makefile into a libft folder.
- Encouraged to create test programs for self-testing and peer evaluation.
- Program name: libftprintf.a
- Turn in files: Makefile, *.h, /.h, *.c, /.c
- Makefile rules: NAME, all, clean, fclean, re
- External functs.: malloc, free, write, va_start, va_arg, va_copy, va_end
- Libft authorized: Yes
- Description: Write a library containing ft_printf(), a function mimicking the original printf(). Recode the printf() function from libc.
- Don’t implement the buffer management of the original printf().
- Handle the following conversions: cspdiuxX%
- Use
arcommand to create the library. Usinglibtoolcommand is forbidden. - libftprintf.a must be created at the root of your repository.
%cPrints a single character.%sPrints a string (as defined by the common C convention).%pThe void * pointer argument has to be printed in hexadecimal format.%dPrints a decimal (base 10) number.%iPrints an integer in base 10.%uPrints an unsigned decimal (base 10) number.%xPrints a number in hexadecimal (base 16) lowercase format.%XPrints a number in hexadecimal (base 16) uppercase format.%%Prints a percent sign.
- Manage any combination of the following flags:
-0.and the field minimum width under all conversions. - Manage all the following flags:
# +(Yes, one of them is a space)
Note: The bonus part will only be assessed if the mandatory part is PERFECT.
Turn in your assignment in your Git repository. Only the work inside your repository will be evaluated during the defense. Double-check file names for correctness.
