    Process terminated with status -1073741510 in Code::Blocks

    Hello people,

    I am pretty new to C and tried programming the quicksort algorithm.
    But Code::Blocks keeps keeps terminating my process with the status above.
    Also when printing my value, it says 6422272 instead of the I did put in.
    Here is my Code:

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    
    
    
    void quicksort(int a[], int L, int R) //array, left end, right end
    {
        int i, j, w, x, k;          // i is left index, r is right index, k is pivot
        i = L; j = R;
        k = (L + R) / 2;            // pivot set to middle
        x = a[k];                   // x gets value of k th element
        do
        {
            while(a[i] < x) i = i + 1;
            while(a[j] > x) j = j - 1;
            if(i <= j)
            {
                w = a[i];
                a[i] = a[j];        // swaps values of a[i] and a[j]
                a[j] = w;
                i = i + 1;
                j = j - 1;
            }
        }
        while(i <= j);                          // starts of on right and left side
        if(L < j) quicksort(a, L, j);
        if(R > i) quicksort(a, i, R);
    }
    
    
    int main()
    {
        int length, value, i;
        printf("How long is your array?\n");
        scanf("%d", &length);       // I put 5 in
        printf("%d\n", &length);   // prints 6422272 
        int array[length];
        for(i = 0; i <= length; i++)
        {
            printf("Give value number %d\n", &i);
            scanf("%d", value);        
            array[i] = value;
        }
        quicksort(array, 0, length);
    }

    Because you don't use & when printing a value.

    > for(i = 0; i <= length; i++)
    Arrays run from 0 to length-1
    So we usually say
    for(i = 0; i < length; i++)

    > printf("Give value number %d\n", &i);
    > scanf("%d", value);
    More goofiness over whether to use & or not.

    Oh, and an explicit return 0; at the end won't go amiss either.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
