I am tasked with creating a C program that writes a python program (which prints "hello world") and executes it.
I have completed the first part (writing the python program to a file) but when I try to execute the python program from C, nothing happens. I directly tested the created file and it has the expected input so I am likely doing something wrong when attempting to execute the python program.
I am attempting to use system() in order to execute the python program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
FILE *pfile;
pfile = fopen("execute.py", "w");
fprintf(pfile, "print(\"hello world\")");
int system(const char *command);
system("python3 execute.py");
return 0;
}
As the comments suggest,
fclose(pfile);
fixes the issue
