Thread: segmentation fault

Im getting a segmentation error....can anyone help please

Code:

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

struct node
{
  char *data;
  struct node *next;
};


int main()
{
 
 struct node *head, *curr;
 int i=0;
 char *str=malloc(5);
 
/* head=NULL; */
 head=(struct node*) malloc (sizeof(struct node));
 curr=head;

  printf("\nPlease enter data :   ");
 
  for (i=0; i<5; i++)
  {
      str[i]=getchar();

      if (str[i]=='\n')
        i=5;
  }
   
   strcpy(str, curr->data);
   printf("\n Data is : %s", curr->data);

 return 0;
}

The order of the arguments to the strcpy function appear to be reversed and you haven't allocated any space for the data pointer within the node pointed to by curr.
