EOFEOF stands for End of File. The function getc() returns EOF, on success..Here is an example of EOF in C language, Let’s say we have "new.txt" file with the following content.This is demo! This is demo!Now, let us see the example.Example#include int main() {    FILE *f = fopen("new.txt", "r");    int c = getc(f);    while (c != EOF) {       putchar(c);       c = getc(f);    }    fclose(f);    getchar();    return 0; }OutputThis is demo! This is demo!In the above program, file is opened by using fopen(). When integer variable c ... Read More

fseek()fseek() in C language is used to move file pointer to a specific position. Offset and stream are the destination of pointer, given in the function parameters. If successful, it returns zero, else non-zero value is returned.Here is the syntax of fseek() in C language, int fseek(FILE *stream, long int offset, int whence)Here are the parameters used in fseek(), stream − This is the pointer to identify the stream.offset − This is the number of bytes from the position.whence − This is the position from where offset is added.whence is specified by one of the following constants.SEEK_END − End of ...

calloc()The function calloc() stands for contiguous location. It works similar to the malloc() but it allocate the multiple blocks of memory each of same size.Here is the syntax of calloc() in C language, void *calloc(size_t number, size_t size);Here, number − The number of elements of array to be allocated.size − Size of allocated memory in bytes.Here is an example of calloc() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include int main() {    int n = 4, i, *p, s = 0;    p = (int*) calloc(n, sizeof(int));    if(p == NULL) {       printf("Error! memory not allocated."); ...

fgetc()The function fgetc() is used to read the character from the file. It returns the character pointed by file pointer, if successful otherwise, returns EOF.Here is the syntax of fgetc() in C language, int fgetc(FILE *stream)Here is an example of fgetc() in C language, Let’s say we have “new.txt” file with the following content −0, hell!o 1, hello! 2, gfdtrhtrhrt 3, demoNow, let us see the example −Example#include #include void main() {    FILE *f;    char s;    clrscr();    f=fopen("new.txt", "r");    while((s=fgetc(f))!=EOF) {       printf("%c", s);    }    fclose(f);    getch(); }Here is the ...

The function isgreaterequal() is used to check that the first argument is greater than or equal to the second one. It is declared in “math.h” header file in C language. It returns true on success, otherwise false.Here is the syntax of islessgreater() in C++ language, bool isgreaterequal(value1 , value2);Here, value1 − This is the first argument which will be checked with value2.value2 − This is the second argument which is used to check value1 that is greater or equal.Here is an example of isgreaterequal() in C++ language, Example Live Demo#include #include using namespace std; int main() {    int val1 = ...

The function strchr() is used to search the character in the string. It search the first occurrence of character which is passed as second argument and it returns a pointer to the character, if successful otherwise, NULL.Here is the syntax of strchr() in C language, char *strchr(const char *string , int character)Here, string − The string which is to be scanned to search the character.character − The character which is to be searched in the string.Here is an example of strchr() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include int main() {    char s[] = "Helloworld!";    char c = 'o'; ...

The function strxfrm() transforms the source string to the current locale and copies the first number of characters of transformed string to the destination. It is declared in “locale.h” header file in C language.Here is the syntax of strxfrm() in C language, size_t strxfrm(char *destination, const char *source, size_t number)Here, destination − The destination pointer where the characters will be copied.source − The string is to be transformed.number − The number of characters to be copied.Here is an example of strxfrm() in C language, Example#include #include int main () has {    char s[10] = "HelloWorld";    char ...

The function islessequalr() is used to check that first argument is less than or equal to the second. It is declared in “math.h” header file. It returns true, if successful otherwise false.Here is the syntax of islessequal()bool islessequal(value1 , value2);Here, value1 − This is the first argument which will be checked with value2.value2 − This is the second argument which is used to check value1 that is less or equal.Here is an example of islessequal()Example Live Demo#include #include using namespace std; int main() {    int val1 = 8;    int val2 = 8;    bool result;    result = islessequal(val1, ...

The function strcspn() counts the number of characters before first match of characters in both strings. This is declared in “string.h” header file. It returns the number of characters of first string before the occurrence of first matched character.Here is the syntax of strcspn() in C language, size_t strcspn(const char *string1, const char *string2)Here, string1 − The first string which is to be scanned.string2 − The second string which is used to search the matching character in first string.Here is an example of strcspn() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include int main() {    char str1[] = "Helloworld!";    char ...

The function iswpunct() is used to check that the passing wide character is a punctuation or not. It returns zero, if it is not a punctuation, otherwise it returns a non-zero value. It is declared in “cwctype” header file.Here is the syntax of iswpunct()int iswpunct(wint_t character);Here is an example of iswpunct()Example#include #include using namespace std; int main() {    wint_t a = '!';    wint_t b = 'a';    if(iswpunct(a))    printf("The character is a punctuation.");    else    printf("The character is not a punctuation.");    if(iswpunct(b))    printf("The character is a punctuation.");    else    printf("The character is not ...
