Full printf implementation

ft_printf

Project Description

This is the ft_printf project for the 42 school curriculum. The project focuses on recreating the standard C library function printf. The goal is to implement a versatile and extensible printf function that can handle various format specifiers and modifiers.

Features

• Basic Conversion Specifiers: Support for %c, %s, %p, %d, %i, %u, %x, %X, and %o.
• Width and Precision: Handle minimum field width and precision.
• Flags: Implement flags such as 0, -, +, #, and (space).
• Length Modifiers: Recognize length modifiers like hh, h, l, and ll.

1. Clone the repository:

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

2. Change into the project directory:

   cd ft_printf

3. Build the project:

   make

4. Use ft_printf in your project:

   Include the header file in your source code and link with the compiled library.

   #include "ft_printf.h"

Usage

Use the ft_printf function as a drop-in replacement for the standard printf function:

#include "ft_printf.h"

int main() {
    ft_printf("Hello, %s!\n", "World");
