What's wrong in this C program..? [closed]
- by AGeek
struct bucket
{
int nStrings; //No. of Strings in a Bucket.
char strings[MAXSTRINGS][MAXWORDLENGTH]; // A bucket row can contain maximum 9 strings of max string length 10.
};//buck[TOTBUCKETS];
void lexSorting(char array[][10], int lenArray, int symb) //symb - symbol, sorting based on character symbols.
{
int i, j;
int bucketNo;
int tBuckNStrings;
bucket buck[TOTBUCKETS];
for(i=0; i<lenArray; i++)
{
bucketNo = array[i][symb] - 'a'; // Find Bucket No. in which the string is to be placed.
tBuckNStrings = buck[bucketNo].nStrings; // temp variable for storing nStrings var in bucket structure.
strcpy(buck[bucketNo].strings[tBuckNStrings],array[i]); // Store the string in its bucket.
buck[bucketNo].nStrings = ++tBuckNStrings; //Increment the nStrings value of the bucket.
}
// lexSorting(array, lenArray, ++symb);
printf("****** %d ******\n", symb);
for(i=0; i<TOTBUCKETS; i++)
{
printf("%c = ", i+'a');
for(j=0; j<buck[i].nStrings; j++)
printf("%s ",buck[i].strings[j]);
printf("\n");
}
}
int main()
{
char array[][10] = {"able","aback","a","abet","acid","yawn","yard","yarn","year","yoke"};
int lenArray = 10;
int i;
printf("Strings: ");
for(i=0; i<lenArray; i++)
printf("%s ",array[i]);
printf("\n");
lexSorting(array, lenArray, 0);
}
Well here is the complete code, that I am trying. since its been a long time since i have touched upon C programming, so somewhere i am making mistake in structure declaration.
The problem goes here:-
1) I have declared a structure above and its object as array(buck[]).
2) Now when I declare this object array along with the structure, it works fine.. I have commented this thing right now.
3) But when I declare this object array inside the function.. because ultimately i have to declare inside function( as i need to build a recursive program, where objects will be created in very recursive call) then the program is throwing segmentation fault.
Expected Output
> [others@centos htdocs]$ ./a.out
> Strings: able aback a abet acid yawn
> yard yarn year yoke
> ****** 0 ******
> a = able aback a abet acid
> b =
> c
> .
> .
> y = yawn yard yarnyear yoke
> z =
Actual Output
[others@centos htdocs]$ ./a.out
Strings: able aback a abet acid yawn yard yarn year yoke
Segmentation fault
I have no idea, what difference I made in this. Kindly help.
Thanks.
