Violation Error

Hey so this is program I have been working on for school and I keep getting a violation error at the first fscanf for some reason. The weird thing is the program ran fine on my school computers but at home I keep getting a violation error. When I ran the program step by step the violation error occurred at " fscanf (in, "%d", &num1);", so I assume the program is having trouble scanning the file for integer numbers or something with scanning the file but I can't seem to make this error go away can anyone help with this? Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you .

1) You're not checking to see if the file actually opens before proceeding.
2) It would be a good idea to give your variables meaningful names...

Test in to see if it's NULL, maybe the file is not being opened at all.

if(in==NULL) {
  print an error message
  return
}

Then check your file's contents - scanf() stops on any error, so a a single wrong char can turn it wonky.

Hey sorry but how would I go about checking to see if the file actually opens do I check if the file is NULL or is there another way?

For anyone reading this basically the program opens a file with two lines of integer numbers. There is a total of 50 numbers so I'm suppose to move the first 25 into an array x, and the last 25 into another array y. Then its suppose to go through the file and check if any of the numbers are the same at the exact same spot. I seem to be having trouble opening the file though.

Example of file:
01 50 03 45 95 06 08 11 12 19 21 25 24 18 64 32 65 98 54 82 42 12 17 93 53
00 06 07 18 15 27 29 11 28 31 30 59 61 67 82 41 96 48 27 35 49 36 21 16 81

basically it would check to see if any of the numbers are the same at the same position, like 11's in the example file.
