Excuse the beginner level of this question. I have the following simple code, but it does not seem to run. It gets a segmentation fault. If I replace the pointer with a simple call to the actual variable, it runs fine... I'm not sure why.
struct node
{
int x;
struct node *left;
struct node *right;
};
int main()
{
struct node *root;
root->x = 42;
printf("Hello world. %d", root->x);
getchar();
return 0;
}
What is wrong with this code?
