This is a C program to write to text file.
The user is prompted to enter the name of the file to write to and also the string that has to be written. If the specified file already exists then it will be overwritten. The filename is passed as the first parameter to the fopen() function. The second parameter of fopen() function is w+ which means to open the file for reading and writing.
The fopen() function return a pointer to the FILE stream which is then used with the fputs() function to write the string to the file.
