# format (mwx::mwx\_format)

Helper class for writing format format to the << operator of `mwx::stream`. In the library, it is alias defined as `Using format=mwx::mwx_format;`.

```cpp
Serial << format("formatted print: %.2f", (double)3123 / 100.) << mwx::crlf;

// formatted print: 31.23[改行]
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
The maximum number of arguments that can be registered in the variable number argument list is 8. 64-bit parameters such as double and uint64\_t type are limited in number. If the limit is exceeded, a compile error will result due to static↵\_assert.
{% endhint %}

* Store the argument list received in the constructor in a variable internal to the class using the expand function of the parameter pack.
* Call `fctprintf()` at the point `operator <<` is called to write data to the stream

### Constructor

```cpp
format(const char *fmt, ...)
```

The constructor stores the format pointer and parameters. The subsequent call with the `<<` operator interprets the format and processes the output.
