I want to read a file that file contains-> 1,2,3,5,7,888, But my code goes into loop, why? How can I fixed this?

I would put print statement into see what value of input is being returned and what the value of EOF is.

The while loop will only terminate when input==EOF

Also I would look at the inp value to see if it matches the number your expect. Will inp==',' when you run the program or will you have to read the ',' to get to the next number?

Here's an example that reads multiple data types:

@anonim, your code is supposed to go into a loop. Do you mean an infinite loop? What output do you get before your code goes into an infinite loop, assuming that's what you meant?
