I am trying to figure it out why am I still getting error message when I did my gcc command on terminal and I have also both included for code and compiler as well. Can anyone have any idea why or can help me for me? I am really new to C Program this semester. This is a main function that takes command line argument that opens two files and combines the two files one line at a time into one output. The first file are lines of text, but remove any trailing white spaces from the end of each line (newlines, tabs and spaces), and the second files are the list of numbers. So there should be two columns separated by a character. I have them for example so you can visual for more clarification:

  Example for to output:

  ./p2 test/p2-testa test/p2-testb

  Test A  11

  Test B  51

  Test C  91

  Test D  26

  Test E  17

  Test F  76

    printf("%st%s", buffer, buffer2);

ERROR COMPILE MESSAGE (BTW: For lecture, I used labcheck by instructor):

p2:

p2.c: In function ‘main’:

--------------------

I didn't really understand the warning and expected message in C program.

Expression (fp) && (fp2) passed to fclose combines two pointers by operator &&, which expects integral operands and interprets them as beeing either ==0 or !=0. The result is an integral value, which again is either ==0 or !=0, but it has nothing to do any more with the pointers fclose expects.

So fclose((fp) && (fp2)) should be

fclose(fp);

fclose(fp2);

your program should look exactly like this

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <ctype.h>

#include <string.h>



const int MAXLEN = 4096;

const int MAXLINES = 10;



int main(int argc, char *argv) {



  char buffer[MAXLEN];

  char buffer2[MAXLEN];

  FILE *fp = fopen(argv[1], "r");

  FILE *fp2 = fopen(argv[2], "r");



  if (!(fp && fp2)) {

    perror ("Not Found");

    exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

    }



     int n = 0;

       while((n < MAXLINES) && (fgets (buffer, sizeof (buffer), fp)) && (fgets(buffer2, sizeof (buffer2), fp2))) {

           printf("%st%s", buffer, buffer2);

               n++;



}

      fclose(fp);

      fclose(fp2);



      return (0);



      }
