How to find EOF through fscanf?

Question

I am reading matrix through file with the help of fscanf(). How can i find EOF? Even if i try to find EOF after every string caught in arr[] then also i am not able to find

If you have integers in your file fscanf returns 1 until integer occurs. For example:

FILE *in = fopen("./task.in", "r");
int length = 0;
int counter;
int sequence;

for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    counter = fscanf(in, "%d", &sequence);
    if ( counter == 1 ) {
        length += 1;
    }
}

To find out the end of the file with symbols you can use EOF. For example:

char symbol;
FILE *in = fopen("./task.in", "r");

for ( ; fscanf(in, "%c", &symbol) != EOF; ) {
    printf("%c", symbol); 
}
