This project is a reimplementation of the standard C printf function. The printf function is used to produce formatted output and supports various data types and format specifiers. The ft_printf function replicates this behavior while operating independently of standard library functions, offering a fully customizable structure.

This project was created to understand the core functionality of the printf function and to gain hands-on experience by writing a similar function ourselves. It also helps develop a deeper understanding of string manipulation, memory management, and formatting in the C programming language.

The ft_printf function provides an interface similar to the standard printf. Possible use cases include:

• Printing basic text and variables: ft_printf("Hello, %s!\n", "world");
• Formatting numbers: ft_printf("Decimal: %d, Hexadecimal: %x\n", 42, 42);
• Using special format specifiers: ft_printf("Float: %f, Char: %c\n", 3.14, 'A');

The project includes the main ft_printf function along with helper functions and structures. It typically consists of the following:

• Makefile: Build configuration file. 🛠️
• ft_printf.h: Header file containing prototypes and structure definitions. 📜
• ft_printf.c: Contains the main ft_printf function and its helper implementations. 🔧
• ft_utils.c: Includes utility functions for character output and format specifier processing. 🧩
