Thread: seg fault

Hey guys this is my whole program and i get a segmentation fault when i do
this menu->headCategory->headItem->prices[i].dollars = 0; how am i going outside
the bounds of the array . NUM_PRICES is equal to 3 how am i exceeding that

Code:

void systemInit(GJCType* menu)
{
   int i;
  
   for(i=0; i<NUM_PRICES ; i++)
   {
     menu->headCategory->headItem->prices[i].dollars = 0;
     menu->headCategory->headItem->prices[i].cents = 0;
   }
   
   menu->headCategory->numItems = 0;
   menu->numCategories=0;
   
  
   
   
}

Code:
