quick question

[Mshock]

Hey my book has an excercise that states the following:

Examine the following program carefully. What is printed?

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	printf("Hello!\n");
	fclose(stdout);
	printf("Goodbye!\n";
	return 0;
}

I ran it and it prints Hello? this seems to be to easy. Am I missing something?

Yes. The closing parentheses on the second printf.

> printf("Hello!\n");
Also known as
fprintf(stdout,"Hello!\n");

Can you now figure out what the consequence of closing stdout is?

[realnapster]

The stdout stands for STANDARD OUTPUT and when we close stdout the GOODBYE is not shown on the screen.

That's all hidden logic is there.
