1. Variable Argument List in printf and scanf

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

int main() {
    int a = 10;
    double b = 2.5;
    char c = 'a';
    printf("a = %d, b = %f, c = %c\n", a, b, c);
    return 0;
}

2. Iterating over Variable Arguments

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

int sum_args(int n, ...) {
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, n);
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        sum += va_arg(args, int);
    }
    va_end(args);
    return sum;
}

int main() {
    int result = sum_args(3, 10, 20, 30);
    printf("Result: %d\n", result);
    return 0;
}

3. Converting Variable Arguments to an Array

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

int* args_to_array(int n, ...) {
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, n);
    int* arr = (int*)malloc(n * sizeof(int));
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        arr[i] = va_arg(args, int);
    }
    va_end(args);
    return arr;
}

int main() {
    int* arr = args_to_array(3, 10, 20, 30);
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        printf("%d ", arr[i]);
    }
    free(arr);
    return 0;
}

    va_start(args, n);
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        sum += va_arg(args, int);
    }
    va_end(args);
    return sum;
}

int main() {
    int (*fptr)(int, ...) = &sum_variadic;
    int result = fptr(3, 10, 20, 30);
    printf("Result: %d\n", result);
    return 0;
}

5. Using variadic macros

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

#define PRINT_ARGS(...) do { va_list args; va_start(args, __VA_ARGS__); print_args(args); va_end(args); } while(0)

void print_args(va_list args) {
    while (1) {
        int arg = va_arg(args, int);
        if (arg == -1) break;
        printf("%d ", arg);
    }
    printf("\n");
}

    PRINT_ARGS(1, 2, 3, 4, -1);
    return 0;
}

    return 0;
}

    error.code = code;

    va_list args;
    va_start(args, format);
    int len = vsnprintf(NULL, 0, format, args) + 1;
    error.message = (char*)malloc(len);
    va_end(args);

    va_start(args, format);
    vsnprintf(error.message, len, format, args);
    va_end(args);

    return error;
}

int main() {

        if (strcmp(argv[i], option) == 0) {
             if (i + 1 < argc) {
                 return atoi(argv[i + 1]);
             }
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    int port = get_int_argument(argc, argv, "--port");
