Ah, but it should be.

Maybe Alla_ is planning to grow the array, but I can't help commenting
on the code in front of me, and with a fixed-size array, I'd want to
include a test on i.  That could be written:

  for (i = 0; i < 50 && fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), fp); i++)

but that is verging on for abuse.  So maybe

  i = 0;
  while (i < 50 && fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer)) {
      i++;
  }

or

  i = 0;
  while (fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer))
      if (i < 50) {
          ...
          i++;
      }

depending on the exact intent.
