[elwad]

hello i have a function that i have to make that stop at MAX or if it it has first line EOF but it doesnt work so i tried to minimize it abit then i puted it simple into 1 main and it still didnt work
here is the code

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    char array[10][100];
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<10;i++) {
          fgets(array[i],100,stdin);
          if(array[i][0]==EOF) {
              puts("dude we are ........en breaking !!!!");
              break;
              }
          }
   return 0;
}

EOF is not a character. It is a special value returned by the fgetc() function to report end-of-file. To detect EOF, you should call feof(stdin) after the call to fgets().

fgets doesn't, hasn't, and won't put EOF into your character array. It returns NULL when the end of file is reached (and then, only when no characters were read).

yah i know but it has char * i didnt know EOF was not a character anyways i tried feof after the call for fgets it didnt detect it when i made cntrl z

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    char array[10][100];
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<10;i++) {
          fgets(array[i],100,stdin);
          if(!feof(stdin))
              puts("dude we found EOF");
          }
    
   getchar();
   return 0;
}

From documentation of feof():

Return Value
A non-zero value is returned in the case that the End-of-File indicator associated with the stream is set.
Otherwise, a zero value is returned.

Your problem is somewhere here. Can you not not find it?

if(!feof(stdin))
              puts("dude we found EOF");
          }

yah i read it wrong :P i thought be mean that non zero is present in case it present EOF
