Thread: Help with code segmentation fault

ok heres the code i have now i keep getting a "Segmentation Fault (core dumped)" error can anyone see why? i think it has to do with the loop that i have highlighted in red.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
     char board[30][30];
     int b_rows, b_cols;
     char gem[27], temp[27];
     int gem_value[27];
     char c, gem_letter;
     int rows, cols, j, i, first, column;

     scanf("%d%d%\n", &b_rows, &b_cols);

for (i = 0; (first = getchar()) != EOF; i++)
  {
        if (first == 'e')
          {
            first = getchar();
            if(first == 'n')
              {
                  first = getchar();
                  if(first == 'd')
                    {
                        break;
                    }
              }
          }

        gem[i] = (char)first;
        if (scanf("%*[^0123456789]%d%*[^\n]", &gem_value[i]) != 1)
            break;

        if(first !='e')
            getchar();
  }

    for (j = 0; j < i; j++)
        printf("%c -- %d\n", gem[j], gem_value[j]);

     for(rows=0; rows<b_rows; rows++)
       for(cols=0; cols<b_cols; cols++)
         board[rows][cols] = '.';


while((first = getchar()) != EOF)
  {
       gem_letter = (char)first;
       scanf("%c", &column);

       for(rows=b_rows; rows>0; rows++)
         {
            if(board[rows][column] == '.')
              {
                  board[rows][column] = gem_letter;
              }
         }

  }
 

     for(rows=0; rows<b_rows; rows++)
       {
         for(cols=0; cols<b_cols; cols++)
           printf("%c", board[rows][cols]);
         printf("\n");
       }

     return 0;
}

The ascii code for the '1' character (ie %c) is 49.

Code:

char c = '1'; //c as a value of 49

Take a closer look at your for loop in red....."rows++" particularly.
