hello all,

I tried a program on an array to intialise array elements from the standard input device.it is an integer array of 5 elements.but after entering the 4th element it throws a message called "Segmentation Fault" and returns to the command prompt without asking for the 5th element.

why is it so?

are you counting from 1 to 5 or from 0 to 4 ?

Good question. Remember that when you work with an array of size 5 in C, you have locations array[0]...array[4].

thanks for your time guys.

I had done a petty mistake in scanf.I tried to accept the input like this
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
scanf("%d", a[i]); The mistake.

I was supposed to give "&a[i]" .


thanks for your time pals.
