Write your own printf function:Create a manPrint a simple characterPrint a stringHandle %dHandle %x

Here's a simple implementation of a myprintf function in C that handles basic character and string printing, along with formatting for integers in decimal (%d) and hexadecimal (%x):

1. Include Necessary Headers

First, include the standard input/output library.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>

2. Function Prototype

Define the prototype for the myprintf function.

void myprintf(const char *format, ...);

3. Implement the myprintf Function

Implement the myprintf function to process the format string with variable arguments.

void myprintf(const char *format, ...) {
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, format);
    
    const char *ptr;
    for (ptr = format; *ptr != '\0'; ptr++) {
        if (*ptr == '%') {
            ptr++;
            switch (*ptr) {
                case 'c': {
                    // Print character
                    char c = (char)va_arg(args, int); // Promote char to int
                    putchar(c);
                    break;
                }
                case 's': {
                    // Print string
                    char *s = va_arg(args, char *);
                    fputs(s, stdout);
                    break;
                }
                case 'd': {
                    // Handle decimal integers
                    int d = va_arg(args, int);
                    printf("%d", d);
                    break;
                }
                case 'x': {
                    // Handle hexadecimal integers
                    int x = va_arg(args, int);
                    printf("%x", x);
                    break;
                }
                default:
                    putchar('%');
                    putchar(*ptr);
                    break;
            }
        } else {
            putchar(*ptr);
        }
    }
    
    va_end(args);
}

4. Example Usage

Here's how you can use the myprintf function in your main program.

int main() {
    myprintf("Character: %c\n", 'A');
    myprintf("String: %s\n", "Hello, World!");
    myprintf("Decimal: %d\n", 123);
    myprintf("Hexadecimal: %x\n", 255);
    
    return 0;
}

Final Answer

This program provides a custom implementation of the printf function that handles characters, strings, decimal integers, and hexadecimal integers. You can compile and run this program to test various inputs.
