    Question Problem in Linked List

    I have a "input.txt" :
    Code:
    5 //number of number follow
    1 3 6 2 4
    and I want to read them and create linked list for each element of sequence.
    this is my code:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #define fi "input.txt"
    typedef struct tagNode{
        int info;
        struct tagNode *pNext;
    }Node;
    typedef struct tagList{
        Node *pHead;
        Node *pTail;
    }List;
    int main(){
        FILE *f;
        List *nList;
        nList=malloc(sizeof(List));
        f=fopen(fi,"r");
        int n;
        fscanf(f,"%d",&n);
        int i;
        int c;
        fscanf(f,"%d",&c);
        nList->pHead->info=c;
        nList->pHead->pNext=nList->pTail;
        nList->pTail->pNext=NULL;
        Node *tmp;
        tmp=malloc(sizeof(Node));
        for(i=2;i<=n;i++){
            fscanf(f,"%d",&c);
            tmp->info=c;
            tmp->pNext=nList->pHead;
            nList->pHead=tmp;
        }
        fclose(f);
        return 0;
    }
    But I have got some problem at line
    Code:
    danhsach->pHead->info=c;
    I have "segmentation fault".
    So, what am I wrong here, please help me, please.

    thanks

    nList is malloced but not initialised. Therefore nList->pHead does not point at anything, so modifying nList->pHead->info overwrites a random area of memory.
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.
