Strange error in a small code

Question

Dear all,

I'm a C beginner and I was doing a small practice nested loop on C when I got a very strange error which when the console opens tells me that my program has stopped working.

here is the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>	
    
main()
{	int i,j,k;
	int i_range, j_range, k_range; 

	i_range = 800;
	j_range = 20-1;
	k_range = 1000-1; 
	float tt=0;
	float tendrecord=1000;
	float Hy_yplane_measure_cos[800][999][1];
	float Hy_yplane_measure_sin[800][999][1];
	int a_n=500;
	float light_speed=3e8;
	float S=2;
	int lattice_x=100;
	float freqmeasure=30;
	
j=floor(0.5+((0.1)*100));
if(tt<tendrecord)
{
 for (k=k_range;k>=1;k--)
  for(i=1;i<=i_range;i++)	
{
 Hy_yplane_measure_cos[i][k][1]+=1*cos(2*3.1416*freqmeasure*tt*(a_n*1E9)/(light_speed*S*lattice_x));
                 }    
}
}

I'm using Dev C++ compiler with a C project(Console) and I have windows 7 on my laptop.
can someone help me?

1. Move those two huge arrays on lines 15 and 16 up above main() so that they will not be on the limited stack.

2. All array idices are numbered 0 to, but not including, the declared array size. So an array with 800 elements are numbered 0 to 799.

The two loops on lines 26 and 27 exceed the limits of those two arrays by 1 element each. You need to modify them as shown below.

for (k=k_range-1;k>=0;k--)
  for(i=0;i<i_range;i++)

3. There is no point in declaring those two arrays on lines 15 and 16 as 3dimensional arrays -- 2-dimensional arrays is sufficient for your purposes

float Hy_yplane_measure_cos[800][999];
float Hy_yplane_measure_sin[800][999];

4. change line 29 like this (its wrong as you posed it): Hy_yplane_measure_cos[i][k]+=1*cos(2*3.1416*freqmeasure*tt*(a_n*1E9)/(light_speed*S*lattice_x))

One of the problems is that line 55-66 is calling that function with too few arguments. float_3d_memory() takes three arguments, not two.

Pay close attention to the errors and warnings that your compiler gives you. If it doesn't give you any then you need to increase the warning level. How to do that depends on the compiler you are using. I used vc++ 2010 express on Windows 7 and got 26 errors like the one I mentioned above.

Thanks ancient dragon for your response.

Actually this doesn't solve my real problem. The problem is shown in the code attached. This is the real problem without any simplification. So if you could know the problem or how to fix it I will be thankful. I hope the code is simple.

You are right. I added 1 in the 3rd field to be(line 55):
Ex_yplane_measure_cos=float_3d_memory(isize,ksize,1);
as well as the next 5 lines. However still it crashes...This time Dev C++ 's C compiler didn't give me any warning...

The problem is the loops in out_plane(), loop counters exceeding the bounds of those arrays.

	k_range = ksize-1; 
	
	if(use_periodic_x == 1)
		i_range = isize;
	if(use_periodic_y == 1)
		j_range = jsize; 
	
	sprintf(name,"%07d",tt);
	strcat(name,lastname);
	file=fopen(name,"w");
