💡 About the project

The aim of this project is to re-code libc's printf function with the conversions:
' c ', ' s ', ' p ', ' d ', ' i ', ' u ', ' x ', ' X ' and ' % '.

Requirements

• The function has to handle the following conversions: cspdiuxX%
• The function will be compared against the original printf()
• To create the library command ar must be used
• Don’t implement the buffer management of the original printf()
• Using the libtool command is forbidden
• Executable libftprintf.a has to be created at the root of your repository

Key learning points

• Handling variadic arguments
• Organising a complex project with various sub-functions & libraries in sub-directories

🌁 Format specifiers explained

Specifier	Meaning
* [c]	Prints a single character
* [s]	Prints a string (as defined by the common C convention)
* [p]	The void * pointer argument has to be printed in hexadecimal format
* [d]	Prints a decimal (base 10) number
* [i]	Prints an integer in base 10
* [u]	Prints an unsigned decimal (base 10) number
* [x]	Prints a number in hexadecimal (base 16) lowercase format
* [X]	Prints a number in hexadecimal (base 16) uppercase format
* [%]	Prints a percent sign
