So a[1449][0] has more chances to work correctly, but the problems generated by such a fault can be insidious and very difficult to discover, because the error can appear later in your program. > printf("%lf\n",a[1450][0]); > return 0; > } > [ankit@Ankit fft]$ gcc try2.c > [ankit@Ankit fft]$ ./a.out > Segmentation fault > [ankit@Ankit fft]$ > > i just want to know that if there is some problem > related to stack how t oget rid of it > > thanks > > ANkit > > > > > ________________________________________________________________________ > Yahoo!
