# v_printf/v_sprintf
These are v implementations of the C language `printf` and `sprintf` functions.
***Note: These functions are platform dependent in C, but in V they are platform independent.***
### v_sprintf
`v_sprintf` has a variable number of parameters. The first is a format string to control the appearance of the final string. Each format specifier (%s, %d, etc.) in the format string is replaced by the textual version of the following parameters.
```v
import strconv
fn main() {
a := "World"
s := strconv.v_sprintf("Hello %s!", a)
println(s)
}
```
```
Hello World!
```
### v_printf
`v_printf` creates the same modified string as `v_sprintf`, using the same format specifiers, but it will immediately print the modified string to stdout instead of returning a string.
### Syntax
The syntax for a format specifier is:
```
%[parameter][flags][width][.precision][length]type
```
#### Flags field
The Flags field may be zero or more (in any order) of:
| Character | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `-` (minus) | Left-align the output of this specifier. (The default is to right-align the output.) |
| `+` (plus) | Prepends a plus for positive signed-numeric types. positive = `+`, negative = `-`. (The default doesn't prepend anything to positive numbers.) |
| `0` (zero) | When the 'width' option is specified, prepends zeros for numeric types. (The default prepends spaces.) For example, `printf("%4X",3)` produces ` 3`, while `printf("%04X",3)` produces `0003`. |
#### Width field
The Width field specifies a *maximum* number of characters to output, and is typically used to pad fixed-width fields in tabulated output, it causes truncation of oversized fields.
The width field may be omitted, or it may be a numeric integer value, or may also be specified by a parameter when indicated by an asterisk `*`. For example, `v_printf("%*.s", 5, my_string)` will result in ` mystring` being printed, with a total width of 5 characters.
#### Length field
The Length field can be omitted or be any of:
| Character | Description |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `hh` | For integer types, causes `printf` to expect an `byte` or `i8` argument. |
| `h` | For integer types, causes `printf` to expect an `int16` or `u16` argument. |
| `l` | For integer types, causes `printf` to expect an `i64` or `u64` argument. |
| `ll` | For integer types, causes `printf` to expect an `i64` or `u64` argument. |
| | |
| | |
#### Type field
The Type field can be any of:
| Character | Description |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `%` | Prints a literal `%` character (this type doesn't accept any flags, width, precision, length fields). |
| `d`, `i` | `int` as a signed `int` `%d` and `%i` are synonymous for output. The size of the argument is specified by the length field. |
| `u` | `unsigned int`. The size of the argument is specified by the length field. |
| `f`, `F` | `double` in normal notation. `f` and `F` only differs in how the strings are printed: lowercase or uppercase. |
| `e`, `E` | `double` in scientific notation.`e` and `E` only differs in how the strings are printed: lowercase or uppercase. |
| `g`, `G` | `double` in automatic notation.`g` and `G` only differs in how the strings are printed: lowercase or uppercase. |
| `x`, `X` | `unsigned int` as a hexadecimal number. `x` uses lower-case letters and `X` uses upper-case. |
| `s` | string |
| `p` | `void *` (pointer to void) in an implementation-defined format. |
| `c` | `char` (character). |

sc0 := "ciao: [%-08u] %d %hhd [%8s] [%08X] [%-20.4f] [%-20.4f] [%c]"
temp_s = strconv.v_sprintf(sc0 ,a0 ,b0 ,c0 ,s0, b0 ,f0, f1, ch0)
println(temp_s)

## Utility functions
The format module also has some utility functions:
```v
// calling struct
struct BF_param {
pad_ch byte = ` ` // padding char
len0 int = -1 // default len for whole the number or string
len1 int = 6 // number of decimal digits, if needed
positive bool = true // mandatory: the sign of the number passed
sign_flag bool = false // flag for print sign as prefix in padding
allign Align_text = .right // alignment of the string
rm_tail_zero bool = false // remove the tail zeros from floats
}
// utilities
fn format_dec(d u64, p BF_param) string
fn format_fl(f f64, p BF_param) string
fn format_es(f f64, p BF_param) string
fn remove_tail_zeros(s string) string
```
`format_dec` format the integer number using the parameters in the `BF_param` struct.
`format_fl` format a float number in normal notation using the parameters in the `BF_param` struct.
`format_es format a float number in scientific notation using the parameters in the `BF_param` struct.
`remove_tail_zeros` removes the tailing zeros from a floating point number as string.
