C - fprintf returning Access violation writing location 0x00246D1C












-1














So my fprintf and also my fputs aren't successfully writing in the file that I want. Here is the relevant code, thank you.



    void print_stats(double max, double min, double avg, double sum)
{
FILE *paid = ("paid.txt", "w");
//paid = ("paid.txt", "w");

if (paid == NULL)
printf("Failed");
fputs("Test", paid);
fprintf(paid, "Max: %.2fnMin: %.2fnAverage: %.2fnTotal: %.2f",
max, min, avg, sum);
fclose(paid);

}

    You are not implementing your NULL pointer check correctly. You are trying to write a string in read only data segment if i had to guess. you need to call fopen() instead of just () like your doing here.

You never actually opened the file:



FILE *paid = ("paid.txt", "w");


This evaluates ("paid.txt", "w") as an expression, with the comma operator discarding the left operand "paid.txt" and evaluating the right operand "w", and then assigning that to paid.



You need to call fopen here:



FILE *paid = fopen("paid.txt", "w");

    @RyanM in your original code you also should consider what happens if fopen returns NULL because the file cannot be opened. It is not going to end well..
