This project implements a simplified version of the printf function, which is used to output formatted text. The implementation covers several format specifiers and handles various edge cases to mimic the behavior of the standard printf.
🔤 Task: Write a function _printf that produces output according to a format. The function should handle the following conversion specifiers: c, s, %.
🔢 Task: Extend _printf to handle the following conversion specifiers: d, i.
🔧 Task: Create helper functions to modularize the code, making it easier to handle different data types and formatting requirements.
📄 Task: Handle the b specifier to print the binary representation of an unsigned integer.
🔡 Task: Handle the u, o, x, and X specifiers to print unsigned integers, octal, and hexadecimal values.
📜 Task: Use a buffer to manage printing more efficiently.
🐆 Task: Handle custom conversion specifiers.
6. How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print
📰 Task: Add support for the p specifier to print pointers.
🔍 Task: Handle additional format specifiers and edge cases.
💬 Task: Extend _printf to handle more complex formatting scenarios.
💵 Task: Optimize the function to handle large data sets efficiently.
🎼 Task: Add support for printing custom data structures.
📀 Task: Ensure compatibility with legacy code and standards.
12. Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print whatever, suddenly I would see a collection
🧵 Task: Add support for additional data types and custom format specifiers.
🗡️ Task: Optimize the function for speed and memory usage.
📚 Task: Ensure robust error handling and edge case management.
🌟 Task: Implement any additional features or optimizations as desired.
