Can't write into out.txt

[SauceGod]

This is a code I made that writes "Hello" to the file out.txt. However, when I open the file, it is blank. Is it because the file should not currently exist?

insert

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
    FILE *fout;
    
    fout = fopen ( "out.txt", "w");
    fprintf(fout, "Hello");
    fclose(fout);
}

Note the changes I made to your code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
   FILE *fout = NULL;

   fout = fopen( "out.txt", "w");

   /* Check here that the file was opened correctly */

   fprintf(fout, "Hello\n"); /* Add a newline char */
   fclose(fout);

   return 0;
}

The code compiles and runs correctly, but you should add code to insure the file was opened correctly before trying to write to it.

Thank you. It worked.
