I am trying to read each line of a .dat file and store it in a float number. I'm using fscanf. My goal is store these lines to after I raffle.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char url[]="PREMIOS.dat", nome[20];
float premio[12];
FILE *arq;
arq = fopen(url, "r");
if (arq == NULL) {
printf("Error\n");
} else {
for(i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
while((fscanf(arq, "%f\n", &premio[i])) != EOF)
printf("%.2f\n", premio[i]);
}
}
fclose(arq);
return 0;
}
The .dat file:
100.00
900.00
600.00
1000.00
0.00
400.00
200.00
800.00
0.01
300.00
500.00
700.00
This code can't storage the numbers for some reason. How can i read these numbers as float, storage and after that raffle?
while (fscanf(arq, "%f\n", &premio[i])) != EOF )
printf("%.2f\n", premio[i]);
Will continue reading the file line-by-line, till the end of file. In that case, only the value at index 0 of premio
is being overwritten each time.
Instead you should try something along the lines of,
If ((fscanf(arq, "%f\n", &premio[i])) != EOF )
printf("%.2f\n", premio[i]);
