Arrays decay to a pointer when you use their name.

see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1461432/what-is-array-decaying
Arrays and their relationship with pointers? This might help.

Thank you! beside those is there any error that cause Bus error?

Line 71: y[k] = count;
y has 30 elements, k can go from 0 to size2-1, you are going out of bounds of the array.
Line 36 and 37 mode(read, size1); print_array(read, size1); at this pointer read become a pointer? Can anyone show me how to fix so it not a pointer?

No, you can not pass an array to a function as an array, it is decayed to a pointer.
