PROGRAM 1
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Write a program in C to read a file

THEORY
The standard library of C has many I/O functionalities. The functions used for reading a file are
very similar to writing files using keyboard. Standard functions like fopen are used to open a
file. Functions like fgetc are used to read the characters from the file.

PROGRAM LOGIC
1. Take the filename as input
2. Check if the file exists or not. If not, return an error message
3. If the file exists, open the file
4. Read all the characters till the end of the file
5. Output the read characters.
6. Close the file

CODE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h> // For exit()

int main()
{
FILE *fptr;

char filename[100], c;

printf("Enter the filename to open \n");

scanf("%s", filename);

// Open file
fptr = fopen(filename, "r");
if (fptr == NULL)
{
printf("Cannot open file \n");
exit(0);
}

// Read contents from file

c = fgetc(fptr);
while (c != EOF)
{
printf ("%c", c);
c = fgetc(fptr);
}
fclose(fptr);
return 0;
}
