Thread: how do i read two bytes in a row?

hi first look at this code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
  
void binary(char byte) {
    unsigned char mask = 0x80;
    for ( ; mask; mask >>= 1)
        putchar(byte & mask ? '1' : '0');
}
 
int main( void )
{
    FILE *fp;
    int c;
  
    if ( (fp = fopen("TEXT.TXT", "rb")) == NULL)
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "Error opening file.");
        exit(1);
    }
 
    while ((c = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)
    {
        binary(c);
        putchar(' ');
    }
 
    putchar('\n');
    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

fgetc reads fp one byte at a time but how can i read two bytes in a row and save them to arrays like this: first and second byte in c[0] and c[1] and after code is executed third and fourth byte in c[0] and c[1] and on... . ( the code was just for example )

Just use two fgetc's in a row.
