Write Data To Text File In C: Character by Character

This video tutorial demonstrates the creation of a simple file and writing data to text file ‘character by character’ using a simple C program.

  #include< stdio.h>

is the only header file required to include.

DOSBOX
I’m using a software called DOSBOX to write my c program. Using this software we can run 32-bit programs on our 62-bit machine.
I’m mounting my C:/DOSFOLDER here. So C:/DOSFOLDER will be treated as my C drive.

Here is the DOS code to do that:

z:\> mount c "c:/DOSFOLDER"
z:\>c:
c:\>cd TC
c\TC:>tc

We take a pointer variable of FILE type, so that this variable can be used to further reference to the file.

FILE *p;
char ch;

ch is a char type variable to store user entered characters and to transfer it to the file.

  p = fopen("c:\\Hello.txt","w");

fopen function takes two parameters. First one being the path of the file(if the file doesn’t exist, it creates one by itself), second parameter indicates the write mode. i.e., the file is opened in write mode and is intended for the write operation.

Note: If you are using DOSBOX software, then the file will be created at this location c:/DOSFOLDER/Hello.txt

       clrscr();
 
        printf("\nEnter the text nd hit Enter to Terminate\n");

clrscr() clears the screen and the print statement asks the user to enter some text and hit enter to terminate.

while( (ch=getche()) !='\r' )
fputc( ch,p);

getche() is a function that gets a character from the keyboard, echoes to screen.
These characters are stored in char variable ch. If the entered character is not “Enter Key” that is \r charriage return character, then the control enters the while loop and using fputc function it transfers the content(character) present in ch to p(variable which references the file we have opened for writing).

fclose(p);

closes the file, opened for write operation.

Creating Simple Window in Java: using swings

This Java video tutorial demonstrates the creation of a simple window by importing Swings package and extending JFrame class.

import javax.swing.*;

javax.swing provides a set of lightweight components that, to the maximum degree possible, works the same on all platforms.

myWindow Class

class myWindow extends JFrame
{
 
}

myWindow is user the name given to the defined class. extends is the keyword. JFrame is a built-in class of swing package.

Constructor

 myWindow()
 { 
setTitle("My window program, using Swings");
setSize(400, 200);
setVisible( true );
setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
 }

myWindow() is the constructor, and thus it’s name matches with that of its class name.
setTitle() : To set the string present on the title bar of the window we are creating.
setSize() : To set the size of the window. It takes two parameters, width and height of the window.
setVisible() : It’s very important for all the programs which involves visual components. passing a value of true makes the window visible.

Main method

public static void main(String args[])
{
 // new myWindow();
myWindow m1 = new myWindow();
}

main method just calls the constructor. We can simply write new myWindow() since we are not at all taking the help of any object here.

Simple Interest: C Program

Video Tutorial illustrating: C Program To Calculation of Simple Interest.

Header File:

   #include<stdio.h>

To be able to use printf function, we have to include stdio.h header file.

main()
This is the starting point of C program execution.
since it does not return any value, we write void main()

Declaration of Variables:

   int p, n;
float r, si;

variables p and n are integer type variables i.e., they can hold integer values.
variables r and si are float or real type variables i.e., they can hold fractional values.

   clrscr();

to clear the output screen.

Initialization of Variables:

   p = 1000;
n = 3;
r = 8.5;

Principle p = 1000
n or time or duration = 3
rate of interest r = 8.5

Formula to calculate simple interest:

     si = ( p * n * r ) / 100;

The mathematical formula si = ( p x n x r ) / 100; is written as si = ( p * n * r ) / 100;

Output statement:

printf("%f\n",si);

the function printf is present inside stdio.h header file. %f is formatting string for float or real type values.

getch();

function to return to the console window.
