Pointer to a matrix - Segmentation fault
The following code works, but when I change my size larger than 10 I get segmentation faults. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the pointer somehow I just can't figure it out!
I need to make my matrix larger, by setting the matrix[SIZE][SIZE] to size 10000.
#define SIZE 100
It only works whenamatrix[SIZE][SIZE] to size 100.
#define SIZE 10
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
