For instance, I wanted to see how printf is written. I looked into the stdio.h file, but there, I could only find the function declaration, no definition.
Where do I find the code of standardized functions?

Check out GLIBC, the standard libc implementation for GNU/Linux, or the easier to read, minimalist, alternative libc MUSL.
Bootlin, runs the Elixir Code Cross Referencer that lets you easily hop between files. For instance, Here is the code for printf in GLIBC.

Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

There are multiple implementations, the one often found on linux is glibc, you can find the source code for that online. printf is going to be a small wrapper for vfprintf though, so that is where you will probably find what you are looking for
