I've been trying to break it down into parts but I can't figure out why I keep having a segmentation fault. I've watched the lecture but I can't figure out where to put the breakpoint to find it. Im almost certain it has something to do with the first if statement as it doesn't prompt the user. Any help would be very much appreciated.

2You should post your code as text using the code button on the editor and not as an image. This will make it easier for people to test as they can copy it into their IDEs to isolate and confirm the issue (plus read it easier).– Robert S. PrattCommented Jan 18, 2021 at 1:16

The seg fault is here:
isalpha{argv[1])
The isalpha function and all of its cousins take a single char as input. argv[1] is a string, not a single char. When you try to ram a string down it's throat, it chokes and throws an error.
