Description

The printf function is a standard library function in C used for formatted output. This project provides a basic implementation of this function, allowing you to print formatted text to the console.

How to Use

To use the printf function in your C program, follow these steps:

1. Include the "main.h" header file in your source code:

   #include "main.h"

2. Call the _printf function with the desired format string and arguments:

   int main() {
       _printf("Hello, %s!\n", "world");
       return 0;
   }

3. Compile your program, ensuring that "main.h" and the source files are included:

   gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89 *.c -o your_program

4. Run your compiled program:

   ./your_program

Implementation Details

The project is organized into several functions:

• _printf: The main function that mimics the behavior of the standard printf.
• print_buffer: Helper function to print the contents of the buffer.
• Other helper functions: Functions to handle various format specifiers, flags, widths, and precisions.
