C program -problem with EOF
Above prints the contents of file and goes into infinite loop.main(){
FILE *fp;
char a;
fp=fopen("giis.txt","r");
if(fp==NULL){
printf("\nFile open error");
return -1;
}
fscanf(fp,"%c",&a)
while(a!=EOF){
printf("%c",a);
fscanf(fp,"%c",&a)
}
close(fp);
}
It's not detecting the end of file.

fscanf returns EOF when it's reached. It does not put this into the variable "a".
