The failbit is designed to allow the stream to report that some operation failed to complete successfully. This includes errors such as failing to open the file, trying to read data that doesn’t exist, and trying to read data of the wrong type. The particular case you’re asking about is reprinted here: char buffer[10]; stream.read(buffer, … Read more
Many older tools misbehave if the last line of data in a text file is not terminated with a newline or carriage return / new line combination. They ignore that line as it is terminated with ^Z (eof) instead.
The golden rule for writing this line is while ((ch = fgetc(stdin)) != EOF) ch should be int .Your cute trick of making ch unsigned fails because EOF is a signed int quantity. Ok, let’s now go into the depth…… Step 1: ch=fgetc(fp) fgetc() returns -1 (a signed int). By the golden rules of C … Read more
You can’t cast the return value to char because the return value could be EOF, and EOF value is system-dependent and is unequal to any valid character code. link Usually it is -1 but you should not assume that. Check this great answer from the c-faq-site: Two failure modes are possible if, as in the … Read more
This code can be written more clearly as: main() { int c; while (1) { c = getchar(); // Get one character from the input if (c == EOF) { break; } // Exit the loop if we receive EOF (“end of file”) putchar(c); // Put the character to the output } } The EOF … Read more
In Python 3 you can iterate over the lines of standard input, the loop will stop when EOF is reached: from sys import stdin for line in stdin: print(line, end=”) line includes the trailing \n character Run this example online: https://ideone.com/rUXCIe This might be what most people are looking for, however if you want to … Read more
On Unix-like systems (at least by default), an end-of-file condition is triggered by typing Ctrl-D at the beginning of a line or by typing Ctrl-D twice if you’re not at the beginning of a line. In the latter case, the last line you read will not have a ‘\n’ at the end of it; you … Read more
The SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing means that the end of your source code was reached before all code blocks were completed. A code block starts with a statement like for i in range(100): and requires at least one line afterwards that contains code that should be in it. It seems like you were executing … Read more
You need to hit Enter and then use ctrl+Z and then Enter again. or, you may also use F6
EOF is not a character (in most modern operating systems). It is simply a condition that applies to a file stream when the end of the stream is reached. The confusion arises because a user may signal EOF for console input by typing a special character (e.g Control-D in Unix, Linux, et al), but this … Read more
