C program to encrypt and decrypt contents of a file

Write a C program to encrypt and decrypt contents of a file.

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #define MAX 256

  int main() {
        FILE *fp1, *fp2;
        int key, val, ch, i = 0;
        char filename[MAX], temp[] = "temp.txt";

        /* get the file name from the user */
        printf("Enter your file name:");
        scanf("%s", filename);

        /* open the given file in read mode */
        fp1 = fopen(filename, "r");

        /* error handling */
        if (!fp1) {
                printf("Unable to open the input file!!\n");
                return 0;
        }

        /* open the temporary file in write mode */
        fp2 = fopen(temp, "w");

        /* error handling */
        if (!fp2) {
                printf("Unable to open the temporary file!!\n");
                return 0;
        }

        /* get the key from the user to create cipher */
        printf("Enter the key to create cipher text:");
        scanf("%d", &key);

        /* converting plain text to cipher text */

        while ((ch = fgetc(fp1)) != EOF) {

                /* adding key to the ascii value of the fetched char */

                val = ch + key;

                fprintf(fp2, "%d ", val);

                i++;

                if (i % 10 == 0) {

                        fprintf(fp2, "\n");

                }

        }

        /* closing all opened files */

        fclose(fp1);

        fclose(fp2);

        /* open the file containint cipher text in read mode */

        fp2 = fopen(temp, "r");

        /* printing the cipher text */

        printf("\nCipher text for the given plain text:\n");

        while (!feof(fp2)) {

                fscanf(fp2, "%d", &ch);

                if (!feof(fp2)) {

                        printf("%c", ch);

                }

        }

        /* moving the file pointer to the start of file */

        rewind(fp2);

        /*

         * converting the cipher text to plain

         * text and printing it to console

         */

        printf("\n\nConverting the cipher text to plain text:\n");

        while (!feof(fp2)) {

                fscanf(fp2, "%d", &ch);

                if (!feof(fp2)) {

                        val = ch - key;

                        printf("%c", val);

                }

        }

        printf("\n");

        /* close all opened files */

        fclose(fp2);

        return 0;

        printf("\n");

  }

  Output:

  jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ cat data_part_1.txt 
  abcdefg1234
  56789hijklm

  jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ ./a.out
  Enter your file name: data_part_1.txt
  Enter the key to create cipher text: 5

  Cipher text for the given plain text:
  fghijkl6789:;<=>mnopqr

  Converting the cipher text to plain text:
  abcdefg1234
  56789hijklm
