New to C programming, what am i doing wrong?

Im trying to make a basic open text file, read, write to text file program. However im new to c and the program simply crashes when i run it. When i debug it crashes on the fwritef command

Code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        FILE *file = fopen( "test.txt", "r" );
        FILE *fp = fopen( "out.txt", "w");

        if ( file == 0 )
        {
            printf( "Could not open file\n" );
        }
        else
        {
            char x;
            while  ( ( x = fgetc( file ) ) != EOF )
            {

            fwritef(fp, x);
            }
            fclose( fp );
        }
        fclose( file );
}

i would appreciate if someone could point out what im doing wrong

1. what is fwritef() ?
2. fgetc() returns an int, not char. Using the latter can cause EOF issues.

sorry thats suppose to be fprintf, like i said im new and was screwing around to see if there was something called fwritef instead of fprintf

Nevermind, i fixed it. But thanks for your help anyways

You aren't checking if fp is NULL, that too can fail, perhaps for permission reasons.
