That's why I read the book too but would like a crisp answer I appreciate a tip.

This value is called EOF, for ``end of file''. FILE *in = fopen("myfile.txt", "r"); // Open myfile.txt read-only while((myChar=fgetc(in)) != EOF) { --------- --- feof is to distinguish between cases where a stream operation has reached the end of a file and cases where the "EOF" (End Of File) error message has simply been returned as a default error message, without the end of the file actually being reached. while(!feof(my_file)) { /* [...End of file not reached, do something with it...] */ } ----- -- So what is the difference when it comes to application?

2005 said: <snip> > while(!feof(my_file)) { > /* [...End of file not reached, do something with it...] */ I sometimes despair of humanity. while(file-reading-function doesn't return an indication that data could not be read - which may well involve EOF, e.g. for getchar, getc, fgetc) { process the data; } if(feof(my_file) { all the data was processed; } else { there seems to have been an input error - so check ferror()'s result. } -- Richard Heathfield <http://www.cpax.org.uk> Email: -http://www. +rjh@ Google users: <http://www.cpax.org.uk/prg/writings/googly.php> "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999

What do *you* think the difference is? Post your answer here, and we will tell you if you are right or not, and if you are wrong, we will tell you where your mistake is. I suggest this for two reasons: 1) It is *much* more effective to learn by doing than by being lectured. 2) It's difficult to see which bit is confusing you. You have already asked the difference between feof() and EOF, and Richard gave you this answer. If you just ask the same question again, we don't know how to make it any clearer. Philip

The first edition is mostly of historical interest; it describes a largely obsolete version of the language.

Use it as the ultimate authority, barring the actual C standard.
