Please give the full code (this won’t compile as it’s missing some headers).

What is the test input it’s crashing on?

i have included header files. It is showing segmentation fault at scanf statement and only in hackerrank ide but not in codechef

My C isn’t very good, but I can’t see anything particularly wrong with the code. Looks like it might be a stackoverflow due to the huge arrays you’re declaring, and in fact shortening each of them to 100'000 each allows the testcase:

hello 5 10 10 10 10 10

to run without crashing.

How big do these arrays actually need to be? Can you link to the problem statement?

Edit:

Thanks for adding the headers, but can you please format them, too? XD

those arrays are working fine in codechef ide…But i have to submit the code in hackerrank… I have included the link to the question. Please help!!

Thanks. Please reduce the size of arrays str, arr and arr1 to 100001 or so and try again.

@manoj_rawat in c you can’t intialize array of size more than 10^6.you are intializing array of 10^8 which causes segmentation fault. just initialize array of 10^6 size.
