In the future could you please only post the code that is relevant to the problem. It's unfair to expect people to sift through tons of code to find the few lines that you are having problems with.
Also, in the future, please specify what you are having problems with, what (if any) errors you are getting, and what you have tried to solve the problem. Don't just post a bunch of code and expect us to figure out what it is, what's wrong with it, and what you are having problems with.
Please check out the posting guidelines for more information on how to ask a question.
A segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (for example, attempting to write to a read-only location, or to overwrite part of the operating system).
This means that somewhere in your code you are attempting to access memory that your application is not allowed to access. It's likely that you're moving through an array and going past the end of it...

never mind my post, reshifted your code and my comment was incorrect.
Try providing the error message and line number if possible, helps alot
check on whether char is signed or unsigned by default

I thought the whole code was necessary to understand what was going on. I apologize if anyone else other than "Frinny" had an issue with me posting. Anyways,here is the code where the actual problem was. -

It prints the character frequencies, then a segmentation fault. The array should be 256 characters to hold each printable character. Any ideas?

I'm sorry if I came across a bit strong yesterday. I was seeing a lot of threads where people would just post a bunch of code and title the thread "what's wrong with this code". Needless to say that I was pretty frustrated by the time I came across yours.
I'm glad that you were able to narrow it down a bit for us.
I think that the problem is occurring within this loop: - while(c!=EOF)
-
{
-
arrayOfInts[c]++;
-
c = in.get();
-
}
You should check to make sure that "c" is a valid index before you do what you're doing.
Try the following: - while(c!=EOF)
-
{ if(c>=0 && c<=256)
-
{
-
arrayOfInts[c]++;
-
}
-
c = in.get();
-
}

Um I take it back. It might be the loop that prints the values.
What are you doing in the loop that prints the values!
Why don't you just use for( count=0; count<=256; count++)???
I did. I changed it to a for loop and changed the other thing you suggested and I am still hitting a segmentation fault. Here is what I have now for reference. -
int* getFrequency(char* filename, int arrayOfInts[])
-
{
-
ifstream in;
-
in.open(filename);
-
for(int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
-
{
-
arrayOfInts[i] = 0;
-
}
-
-
-
-
int c = in.get();
-
-
while(c!=EOF)
-
{
-
if(c>0 && c<=256)
-
{
-
arrayOfInts[c]++;
-
}
-
c = in.get();
-
}
-
-
-
-
cout<<"\nThe character frequencies are: \n\n";
-
for(int count = 0; count<=256; count++)
-
{
-
while(arrayOfInts[count]!=0)
-
{
-
if(count == 10)
-
{
-
cout<<"\\n "<<arrayOfInts[count]<<"\n";
-
count++;
-
}
-
else
-
{
-
cout<<char(count)<< " "<<arrayOfInts[count]<<"\n";
-
count++;
-
}
-
}
-
cout<<count<<"\n";
-
count++;
-
-
}
-
-
in.close();
-
-
return arrayOfInts;
-
-
-
}
Because your array has only 255 elements, the max index is 254. So the loop must be like this - for(int count = 0; count <= 254; count++)
or - for(int count = 0; count != 255; count++)
You get segmentation fault when you access the element that is not in array
Which loop do I need that for in the above function? All of them? I tried changing all of the conditions for the loops like you said and I am still receiving the segmentation fault.
Could you debug this and show me the line where the program stopped?
This is my current code
See attached for output
It is doing exactly what I want, just printing the segmentation fault at the end. It is not getting to any other functions before or after it because of the segmentation fault -

The image is too small to see. Actually, even if i can see it clearly, i can't tell you what the error is, because there is not enough information.
According to your code, i saw that the upper bound of loop is 256, while the array size is 256. Correct it to 255.
Also, change the print loop as the following code, run it and show me last output lines (3 lines at most). -
cout<<"\nThe character frequencies are: \n\n";
-
for(int count = 0; count<=255; count++)
-
{
-
cout << count << " ";
-
if (count == 10)
-
cout << "\\n ";
-
else
-
cout << char(count) << " ";
-
-
cout << arrayOfInts[count]<<"\n";
-
}
-
The last three lines are as follows:
254 \ufffd 0
255 \ufffd 0
Segmentation fault
nar0122@tecs-cs-sshpol3:~/Desktop/3300/assn4/programOne>
I have run your code successfully, and the output is different from yours.
I guess the error is somewhere outside this function.
Also, could you send me you input file?
You should use debugging tools to find the error more easily.

I see what you're doing now.
You're trying to do too much with one variable.
You need one variable to keep track of how many times you have iterated through the array (how many times you've looped).
You should be using another variable to print the number of characters found in the array at that iteration.
If there is 0 for a specific character then don't do anything ...just loop to the next index.
This is a much cleaner approach that I hope will fix your problem. -
int* getFrequency(char* filename, int arrayOfInts[])
-
{
-
ifstream in;
-
for(int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
-
{
-
arrayOfInts[i] = 0;
-
}
-
-
in.open(filename);
-
int c = in.get();
-
while(c!=EOF)
-
{
-
if(c>0 && c<256)
-
{
-
arrayOfInts[c]++;
-
}
-
c = in.get();
-
}
-
in.close();
-
-
cout<<"\nThe character frequencies are: \n\n";
-
int numberOfCharacters = 0;
-
for(int i = 0; i<256; i++)
-
{ numberOfCharacters = arrayOfInts[i];
-
if(i==10}
-
{ cout << "\\n ";}
-
if(numberOfCharacters > 0)
-
{
-
cout<<char(i)<< " "<<numberOfCharacters<<"\n";
-
}
-
}
-

return arrayOfInts;

}

PS. Could you please post code snippets in code tags.
I did not get the segmentation fault after modifying my program; however, I got some pretty crazy errors. I think it is saying I have a memory leak somewhere.
Does this mean anything to anyone?
