0x11. C - printf

The printf project is the first group project for the ALX SE course. The objective was to recreate the printf function provided in standard library with some custom specifier using all the knowledge gained from all previous projects and to develop our team working skills. Listed below are the tasks associated with this project.

Tasks

Listed are the tasks of this project and links to the relevant files.

0. I'm not going anywhere. You can print that wherever you want to. I'm here and I'm a Spur for life:

• Write a function that produces output according to a format.
• Specifiers:
  • c: characters
  • s: strings
  • %: modulus
• Return: The number of characters printed.

1. Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't:

• Handle the following conversion specifiers:
  • d: decimals
  • i: integer

2. With a face like mine, I do better in print:

• Handle the following custom conversion specifiers:
  • b: the unsigned int argument is converted to binary

3. What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print:

• Handle the following conversion specifiers:
  • u: unsigned integer
  • o: convert from decimal to octal
  • x: convert from decimal to hexadecimal in lowercase
  • X: convert from decimal to hexadecimals in uppercase

4. Nothing in fine print is ever good news:

• Use a local buffer of 1024 chars in order to call write as little as possible.

5. My weakness is wearing too much leopard print:

• Handle the following custom conversion specifier:
  • S: prints the string
  • Non printable characters (0 < ASCII value < 32 or >= 127) are printed this way: \x, followed by the ASCII code value in hexadecimal (upper case - always 2 characters)

6. How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print:

• Handle the following conversion specifier: p

7. The big print gives and the small print takes away:

• Handle the following flag characters for non-custom conversion specifiers:
  • '+'
  • space
  • '#'

8. Sarcasm is lost in print

• Handle the following length modifiers for non-custom conversion specifiers:
  • l
  • h
  • conversion specifiers to handle: d, i, u, o, x, X

9. Print some money and give it to us for the rain forests

• Handle the field width for non-custom conversion specifiers.

10. The negative is the equivalent of the composer's score, and the print the performance:

• Handle the precision for non-custom conversion specifiers.

11. It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print:

• Handle the 0 flag character for non-custom conversion specifiers.

12. Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection:

• Handle the - flag character for non-custom conversion specifiers.

13. Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party:

• Handle the following custom conversion specifier:
  • r : prints the reversed string

14. The flood of print has turned reading into a process of gulping rather than savoring:

• Handle the following custom conversion specifier:
  • R: prints the rot13'ed string.

15. *

• All the above options work well together.
