how to print EOF in C programming??

Here is a program i have found to print the eof .but when it is compiled , its showing following errors:

In function âmainâ:
eof.c:5: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function âprintfâ
eof.c:6: error: âEOFâ undeclared (first use in this function)
eof.c:6: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
eof.c:6: error: for each function it appears in.)

Code:



#inlude <stdio.h>



int main(void)

{

  printf("Press a key. ENTER would be nice :-)\n\n");

  printf("The expression getchar() != EOF evaluates to %d\n", getchar() != EOF);

  return 0;

}

Hi.

Change

Code:

#inlude <stdio.h>

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

Typographical errors notwithstanding, EOF is not a character, but rather a state. It isn't intended to be printed.

EOF is a CTRL-D in the input stream. Hence typing this keystroke will result in a return code of 0 being printed as gethchar will return a -1 then (which needs to be checked for being EOF or an error).
