fprintf(fp,Count); gives C2664 error

I am a beginner of VC++...
Whenever I use fprintf(fp,Count); where Count is a Long Variable, I get
an error saying
"error C2664: 'fprintf' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'long' to
'const char *'"

Can someone help me?

re: fprintf(fp,Count); gives C2664 error

fprintf is used for output in file.
So, first argument will be file pointer, second - formatting string
like "%d", and third will be your Long Variable.
I don't remember what exactly you must put in formatting string in this
case, please use manual.

printf would be
printf("%ld", Count);

(%d is for int, %ld is long int)

But, fprintf wants the file to print to as the first paramater, so you just
scoot everything over.

fprintf(fp, "%ld", Count);
