fputs() and fgets() file handling function

Writing File or fputs() function

The fputs() function writes a line of characters into file. It outputs string to a stream.
C fputs function is implemented in file related programs for writing string to any particular file.
In this function returns non-negative value, otherwise returns EOF on error.

Syntax: fputs(const char *s, FILE *stream)  

Example:


Reading File or fgets() function

The fgets() function reads a line of characters from file. It gets string from a stream.
C fgets function is implemented in file related programs for reading strings from any particular file. It gets the strings 1 line each time.

Syntax: char* fgets(char *s, int n, FILE *stream)  

Return:-
1)On success, the function returns the same str parameter
2)C fgets function returns a NULL pointer in case of a failure.

Example:


""Share it""

Introduction to C

About C:- C is a high-level language . It was initially first developed by D ennis Ritchie in 1972. It was developed to overcome the limitation of previous language such as B,BCPL etc. It was developed for Unix operating System It inherits many features of previous language Features/Advantage:- Simple :- because it provide data types, library function etc. Machine Independent or Portable:- because it can be executed on different machine Procedural language:- Instruction in c program are executed step by step Structured programming language:- break the problem into parts It provide dynamic memory allocation , pointers etc. Speed:-It is faster than another programming language like java, python etc. Disadvantage of C:- It does not support oops concept in which inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation etc. come. It does not support namespace concept It does not support constructor and destructor There is lack of excepti...

Identifiers in C

Identifiers are:-  constant variables keywords Define constant:- Any information is constant data = information = constant types of constant primary:- integer,real,character secondary:- they are made with the help of primary such as:- array,string,pointer,union,etc. Define variables:- variables are the name of memory location where we store data variable name is any combination of alphabet,digit the first letter cannot be a digit Keywords:-  keywords are the predefined or reserved words.In C there are 31 keywords.C is a case sensitive so use keyword in small alphabets. 

Type casting

type casting or type conversion  allows us to convert one data types into another.for type casting cast operator is required. Syntax:--      (type)expression or value; Example:       int f =9/4; //without type casting       o/p=2       float f=(float)9/4;  //with type casting       o/p=2.3 Type conversion are of two types: 1)Implicit Type Conversion:-  it is also known as automatic type conversion.When the type conversion is performed automatically by the compiler,such type of conversion is known as implicit type conversion. 2)Explicit Type Conversion:-  the type conversion performed by the programmer is known as explicit type conversion.which is done by cast operator as above mentioned.
