# ft_printf
Your own implementation of the printf function from libc.
## 💡 About
The ft_printf project consists of programming your own version of the famous printf function. You will learn about variadic arguments and will implement formatted output conversion. This project is a great way to improve your programming skills and is frequently reused in subsequent 42 projects.
## 🛠️ Supported Conversions
The function handles the following conversions:
- `%c` - Single character
- `%s` - String
- `%p` - Pointer address
- `%d` - Decimal (base 10) integer
- `%i` - Integer in base 10
- `%u` - Unsigned decimal (base 10) integer
- `%x` - Hexadecimal (base 16) integer lowercase
- `%X` - Hexadecimal (base 16) integer uppercase
- `%%` - Percentage sign
## 📋 Usage
```c
#include "ft_printf.h"
int main(void)
{
ft_printf("Hello %s!\n", "world");
ft_printf("Number: %d\n", 42);
ft_printf("Hexadecimal: %x\n", 42);
return (0);
}
```
## ⚠️ Function Prototype
```c
int ft_printf(const char *format, ...);
```
Returns the number of characters printed (excluding the null byte used to end output to strings).
## 📊 Expected Output
The function should work exactly like the original printf, handling all the specified conversions correctly.
