# %fputc() function

The %fputc() function writes the character
specified by *character* on the named output *stream*.

## Syntax

```
var = %fputc(character, (char*)stream)
```

## Description

Note: The character is passed
as a number. Normal usage overrides the type (see the example below).

If successful, the character is returned as a number, otherwise
eof (-1) is returned.

If the character is contained in a FlashBASIC
dynamic array, an explicit (char) type override
must be used, otherwise a pointer would be passed to the C function.

## Example(s)

```
c=’a’
n=%fputc((char)c, (char*) strm)
```
