    I am using the following code
    Code:
    typedef struct A {
    int x;
    int y;
    int  z;
    };
    
    int main(void) {
    
     struct A A;
     struct A B;
    FILE *fp;
    A.x = 80000;
    A.y = 40000;
    A.z = 12345;
    
    printf("%d %d %d\n", A.x, A.y, A.z);
    fp = fopen("file.txt", "wb");
    fwrite(&A, sizeof A, 3, fp);
    fclose(fp);
    fp = fopen("file.txt", "rb");
    fread(&B, sizeof B, 1, fp);
    fclose(fp);
    printf("%d %d %d\n", B.x, B.y, B.z);
    return 0;
    }
    
    
    But the file.txt is containing junk values when i open it . Please let me know what is wrong in my program.

    Thanks,
    Zaheer

    Because you are writing it in binary mode.

    Because you have assigned the value to int type variable beyond its range.
