The following is my code for pset2 initials 2017 and I got a segmentation error. Can someone plse help me debug this.

Now here's the output :

Hello what's your name?
ansh parashar                                                                    
APSegmentation fault

Please help me find the way to fix this segmentation fault.

The expression 1 <= n <= strlen(name) is too direct for C. You have to write it as (1 <= n) && (n <= strlen(name)) . Also, in C (and most other languages) a string is zero-indexed (first element starts at index 0) so you can use n < strlen(name).

  • i tried running your code. I did get the segmentation fault as well. Then i corrected the while statement to while(1 <= n && n < strlen(name)) and then i worked fine...
