Segmentation Fault error help when using arrays.

Hashamali96 (2)
I've been trying to figure out how to solve the segmentation fault. I put up a partial of the code and the text file of the code I am reading. Trying to put numbers in an array. I'm trying to make it stop reading at -1. thanks guys!!

int i = 0;
int inputs[i];

can't have an array of size zero

maybe you wanted.

int const SIZE=500;
int inputs[SIZE];

Hi Hashamali96,

With that code, the array inputs has size 0, probably hence the seg fault.

Better to declare input to be of size SIZE.

Also, be careful to initialise your variables.

Thanks guys!

I, however, need to reread the whole chapter about arrays!
