c - Reading with fscanf segmentation fault -


i trying initialize 2d array values keep encountering segmentation fault...i noticed occurred when added fscanf line of code...but don't understand what's wrong since understanding should work...this code snippet:

    file * fp;         int count, i,j;         int **arr;          arr = (int**)malloc(sizeof(int*)*9);         for(i = 0; < 9; i++){             arr[i] = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*9);         }      fp = fopen("input.txt", "r");      for(i = 0; < 9; i++){             for(j = 0; j < 9; j++){                 fscanf(fp, "%d", &arr[i][j]);             }         } 

in code, neither

  • checked sucess of malloc()
  • checked success of fopen().

for of cases,

  1. if malloc() fails, return null , using pointer cause undefined behaviour.

  2. if fopen() fails, return null, , using file pointer later again cause undefined behaviour.

put chcek sucess of library functions (in general) , use return value if successful.
