Reads a number of objects by size and stores them in buf

//Header file: #include <stdio.h> //Declaration: size_t fread(void *buf, size_t size, size_t count, FILE *stream); //Return: returns the number of items actually read. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(void) { FILE *filep; float bal[5] = { 2.3F, 3.6F, 3.3F, 4.8F, 5.5F }; int i; if((filep=fopen("testfile", "wb"))==NULL) { printf("Cannot open file.\n"); exit(1); } if(fwrite(bal, sizeof(float), 5, filep) != 5) printf("File read error."); fclose(filep); if((filep=fopen("testfile", "rb"))==NULL) { printf("Cannot open file.\n"); exit(1); } if(fread(bal, sizeof(float), 5, filep) != 5) { if(feof(filep)) { printf("Premature end of file."); }else { printf("File read error."); } } fclose(filep); for(i=0; i<5; i++){ printf("%f ", bal[i]); } return 0; } /* 2.300000 3.600000 3.300000 4.800000 5.500000 */
