what is Segmentation fault (core dumped)? [duplicate]
"Segmentation fault" means that you tried to access memory that you do not have access to.
The first problem is with your arguments of main
. The main
function should be int main(int argc, char *argv[])
, and you should check that argc
is at least 2 before accessing argv[1]
.
Also, since you're passing in a float
to printf
(which, by the way, gets converted to a double
when passing to printf
), you should use the %f
format specifier. The %s
format specifier is for strings ('\0'
-terminated character arrays).
