Thread: Problem with segmentation fault

Hi everyone,

I have been having trouble writing a seemingly easy program. My program must remove all white space from a string without the use of string functions or an auxiliary string.

Here is my attempt to solve this,

Code:

void removewhitespace(char *str)
{
  int i=0,j=0;
  while(str[i] != '\0'){
    if(str[i] != (' '||'\n'||'\t')){ //both characters increment
      str[j]=str[i];
      i++;
      j++;}
    else{ //if character is white space, i increments and starts replacing the white space at j.
      i++;
    }
  }
}

I get a segmentation fault on line 6. I honestly can't figure out what is causing this problem. I would think that my while statement would stop the program from accessing memory beyond the bounds of the string.
