how do i modify this program to

[irfath]

In the following program the inputs are taken randomly
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
FILE *fp;
int i,n,x,a[45],l=0,m,o,y,z,j;
clrscr();
randomize();
fp=fopen("list1.txt","w");
if(fp==NULL)
{
puts("cannot open file");
exit(0);
}
n=rand()%14;
for(i=1; i<=n; i++)
{
x=rand()%1000;
a[i]=x;
fprintf(fp,"%d\t",x);
}
fclose(fp);

fp=fopen("list2.txt","w");
if(fp==NULL)
{
puts("cannot open file");
exit(0);
}
m=rand()%14;
for(i=1; i<=m; i++)
{
y=rand()%1000;
a[n+i]=y;
fprintf(fp,"%d\t",y);
}
fclose(fp);

fp=fopen("list3.txt","w");
if(fp==NULL)
{
puts("cannot open file");
exit(0);
}
o=rand()%14;
for(i=1; i<=o; i++)
{
z=rand()%1000;
a[n+m+i]=z;
fprintf(fp,"%d\t",z);
}
fclose(fp);
/* reading of first files starts here*/
fp=fopen("list1.txt","r");
if(fp==NULL)
{
puts("cannot open file");
exit(0);
}
printf("\nfirst list:----\n");
while(fscanf(fp,"%d",&x)!=EOF)
printf("%d\t",x);
fclose(fp);
/*reading of second file starts here*/
fp=fopen("list2.txt","r");
if(fp==NULL)
{
puts("cannot open file");
exit(0);
}
printf("\nsecond list:----\n");
while(fscanf(fp,"%d",&y)!=EOF)
printf("%d\t",y);
fclose(fp);
/*reading of third file starts here*/
fp=fopen("list3.txt","r");
if(fp==NULL)
{
puts("cannot open file");
exit(0);
}
printf("\nthird list:----\n");
while(fscanf(fp,"%d",&z)!=EOF)
printf("%d\t",z);
fclose(fp);
printf("\n----------------------------------\n");
/*sorting all elements of array*/
printf("\nfinal sorted list-----------------\n");
for(i=1;i<=n+m+o;i++)
{
for(j=1;j<=n+m+o;j++)
{
if(a[j]>=a[j+1])
{
int temp=a[j+1];
a[j+1]=a[j];
a[j]=temp;
}
}
}
/*storing values in final file*/

fp=fopen("list4.txt","w");
if(fp==NULL)
{
puts("cannot open file");
exit(0);
}
for(i=1; i<=m+n+o; i++)
{
x=a[i];
fprintf(fp,"%d\t",x);
}
fclose(fp);
/*reading final file*/
fp=fopen("list4.txt","r");
if(fp==NULL)
{
puts("cannot open file");
exit(0);
}
while(fscanf(fp,"%d",&x)!=EOF)
printf("%d\t",x);
fclose(fp);
getch();
}


How do we modify this to take input from user
that are 3 list of numbers one by one
then we may get output( merged and sorted list)

Why in the world are you using files as temporary storage? You can do all of that work in memory and avoid all kinds of complexity:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define lengthof(a) (sizeof (a) / sizeof (*a))

void insertion_sort ( int a[], int n )
{
  int i;

  for ( i = 1; i < n; i++ ) {
    int j, save = a[i];

    for ( j = i; j >= 1 && a[j - 1] > save; j-- ) {
      a[j] = a[j - 1];
    }

    a[j] = save;
  }
}

int main ( void )
{
  int a[45];
  int i;

  // Read the numbers
  for ( i = 0; i < lengthof ( a ); i++ ) {
    if ( scanf ( "%d", &a[i] ) != 1 ) {
      perror ( "Input error" );
      return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
  }

  // Sort the numbers
  insertion_sort ( a, lengthof ( a ) );

  // Print the result
  for ( i = 0; i < lengthof ( a ); i++ ) {
    printf ( "%d ", a[i] );
  }

  printf ( "\n" );

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
