Question

hey can any1 xplain me why i got a segementation fault?
i was using gcc btw

Answer 1

@slotema

Answer 2

Most of the time, segmentation faults are caused by an array index that is too large. That's the case here as well. Check the values of `var` and try to figure out when that value is too large to access x/number.

Answer 3

i took care f it r8?

var < size in for loop?
that's not good enough?

Answer 4

But what's the value of var when `var >= size`?

Answer 5

it's not var>=size it was var>=0

Answer 6

As long as `var < size`, the loop will run. But after the loop is finished, what is the value of var? (which you use on number in the second loop)

Answer 7

it's size-1

Answer 8

and then it decreases in that while loop

Answer 9

it's not `size - 1`, since `(size - 1) < size`.

Answer 10

oh ok lemme try it
but i got a printf for first iteration

Answer 11

hey thanks it worked......gimme a min

Answer 12

nelo? sry... m confused.....wat's ur name again?

Answer 13

@slotema

Answer 14

slotema is just fine. What's the problem with that program?

Answer 15

it goes in to an infinite loop and prints weird symbols when i xpect some numbers.........

Answer 16

That's a problem in `print_alt`. You're trying to print a string there ("%s"). A string in C is basically an array of characters ended by an element with the value 0 or '\0' (but not ended by '0'). Since number does not have a 0 at it's end, it'll keep printing something until the printf encounters a 0.

Answer 17

did u check the file?
the file has weird characters

Answer 18

i used a fprintf for that file

Answer 19

In your fprintf, the same thing is happening. You're trying to print an array as if it were a string. That's not going to work.

Answer 20

ohh so i have to use a loop here?

Answer 21

Yep. Like you did in the print function.

Answer 22

what if a put a /0 in the end? will it work?

Answer 23

It should stop printing, but what it's printing won't be readable numbers. If you're trying to print the integer 1 as a character, it won't show up as '1'.

Answer 24

i changed the flag condition and i changed the print...

Answer 25

it;s stuck in a loop smwer?

Answer 26

Check the power function. The problem is in there.

Answer 27

you can also use the pow function from math.h

Answer 28

yup i found it
sry my net's goin crazy
and it's still in an infinite loop

Answer 29

i finallyy completed it........ thanks @slotema
