Thread: make array smaller...bad data i think

i need to make my array smaller to save memory and for some reason my program crashes when i call the print function i made to read out the numbers in the aray. i cant seem to find out why this only happens with the larger number because it works for making the array one size smaller just not 4 in the test I'm doing. when i do the test for re sizing 4 smaller it seems like it never saves the array because i put the print function be the realloc and it still crashes. also when i run the program with out pauses it crashes it would be nice to know why it did that too (same function)

here is the function

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)

i knew it was something simple i just couldn't find it. thank you!
