You code should be throwing a SIGSEGV
for this test case. (But it is not, and I don’t know why!)
The idea is this. First, you add a book. Then, you take it out. After this point, in your code, value of i
is -1
. Now, you add another book on to the pile. In your code, the check if(l<=b[i].serial)
will execute. But b[-1]
is undefined. This should have thrown a SIGSEGV
.
Try making sufficient changes to handle the case, when you are adding a book on top of an empty pile. This might be the reason.
Programming Tip: Try indenting your code. It is easy to understand/debug.
