it will solve ur issue.

Oh, thanks @aman212yadav, but I don’t understand why I have to do that. Can you explain me the reasons?

  • Why I have to decrease my student array size?
  • Why I have to declare it as global array?

Thanks @aman212yadav a lot.

yeah sure,
segmentation fault occurse either due to invalid memory access or due to too much memory allocation,
when u declare ur array of lesser size it will take less memory ans hence will not show an error.
if u declare it as global array then because global scope has some higher memory capacity than function scope , it will not show any error.
