Seg Fault when initializing array

Question

I\'m taking a class on C, and running into a segmentation fault. From what I understand, seg faults are supposed to occur when you\'re accessing memory that hasn\'t been all

Answer 1

I was unable to find any error in your code, so I compiled it and run it and worked as expected.

You have, however, a semantic error in your code:

   start=clock();
   //set it up to perform the test 100 times.
   for(int k = 0; k<10; k++)
   {

Should be:

   //set it up to perform the test 100 times.
   for(int k = 0; k<10; k++)
   {
   start=clock();

Also, the condition at the end should be changed to its inverse:

if(rowMajor

Finally, to avoid the problem of the os-specific stack size others mentioned, you should define your matrix outside main():

#include 
#include 

int majorArray [1000][1000];

int main(void){
   //first define the array and two doubles to count elapsed seconds.   
   double rowMajor, colMajor;
   rowMajor = colMajor = 0;
