Hi Friends,
The following code is working fine and printing the string "Mohan S".

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
FILE *fp;
fp=stdout;
fprintf(fp,"%s","Mohan S");
}

My doubt is how it is possible to assign a standard output stream to a
file stream....Why it didn't throw any error;instead its running
fine...

Can anyone give me clear explanations... ?
Thanks in advance...
stdout is a FILE* that is declared in stdio.h and defined and
initialized by the startup code that executes prior to main. fp is a
FILE* defined in your program. It is perfectly legal for two pointers
to point to the same object.
