in my function OpenData, it corrupts error on memory allocation when I compile and run it.

in main, i need to creat an int array and pass it to other function lator.. I take 4 command-line arguments ie, a.out 7 100 lychrels.dat
7 is seed number
100 is number of turn.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "stringtoll.h"

#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0
#define SIZE 20

void OpenData(int ** arrayPtr, char file, int *arraySizePtr );
int CheckLych(int array[], int n, int count);
void ReverseAndAdd(long long num, int* timesPtr); 
int IsPalindrome (char *string, int left, int right);
void LongLongToString(long long num, char *stringPtr);
void PrintGreeting();

The second parameter to OpenData() should be char* not simply charf void OpenData(int ** arrayPtr, const char* file, int *arraySizePtr ) Didn't your compiler give you a bunch of errors because of that? There are several other syntax erorrs too, and in some cases you need to add typecasts.

then...
ifp = fopen(file, "r");

should be

ifp = fopen(*file, "r");
??

fscanf(ifp, "%d", *arrayPtr); <<< this one has invalid type argument of 'unaray *'...
what is that?

>>ifp = fopen(*file, "r");
NO, NO, NO. Just leave that line like it is because the first parameter to fopen is const char*.

>>this one has invalid type argument of 'unaray *'...
don't know -- my compiler made no complaints about that line.

here is my correction...

void OpenData(int *arrayPtr, const char* file, int *arraySizePtr )
{
   FILE *ifp;
   int n;
   int i;
   ifp = fopen(file, "r");
   
   if(ifp == NULL)
   {
      fprintf(stderr, "can't open %s ... ...\n", file);
      exit(-2);
   }
   
  while(fscanf(ifp, "%d", &n) != EOF)
   { 
      *arraySizePtr++;
   }
   
   rewind(ifp);
   
   arrayPtr = (int *) malloc (*arraySizePtr * sizeof(int));
   if (arrayPtr == NULL)
   {
      fprintf(stderr, "Memory allocation failed... ...\n");
      exit (-3);
   }
   
   for (i=0; i<*arraySizePtr; i++)
   {
      fscanf(ifp, "%d", arrayPtr[i]);   
   }
   fclose(ifp);
}

in line 16 i have Warning: value computed is not used.

you should have left the first parameter to that function alone -- it has to be double stars so that it can change the pointer that was declared in main() -- you had that one right in the first post and now you've broken it.

Another approach is to delete the first parameter altogether and just return it

char* OpenData(const char* file, int *arraySizePtr )
{
    char* arrPtr = 0;
    ...
     ...
    return arrptr;
}

int main()
{
    char* arrPtr = OpenData(argv[3], &arraySize);
    ...
}

okay, final check!

also, In main, when i Pass the array to this function, is it correct? judge = CheckLych(array, randomNb, arraySize);

void OpenData(int **arrayPtr, const char* file, int *arraySizePtr )
{
   FILE *ifp;
   int n;
   int i;
   ifp = fopen(file, "r");
   
   if(ifp == NULL)
   {
      fprintf(stderr, "can't open %s ... ...\n", file);
      exit(-2);
   }
   
  while(fscanf(ifp, "%d", &n) != EOF)
   { 
      arraySizePtr++;
   }
   
   rewind(ifp);
   
   *arrayPtr = (int *) malloc (*arraySizePtr * sizeof(int));
   if (arrayPtr == NULL)
   {
      fprintf(stderr, "Memory allocation failed... ...\n");
      exit (-3);
   }
   
   for (i=0; i<*arraySizePtr; i++)
   {
      fscanf(ifp, "%d", arrayPtr[i]);   
   }
   fclose(ifp);
}

okay, final check!

also, In main, when i Pass the array to this function, is it correct? judge = CheckLych(array, randomNb, arraySize);

No -- you screwed it up again. Look at your original post, which was correct.

line 22 of the function is wrong too. should be if (*arrayPtr == NULL)

line 30 will not work either. you need to add parantheses, like this: fscanf(ifp, "%d", (*arrayPtr)[i]);

No -- you screwed it up again. Look at your original post, which was correct.

I haven't changed this fucntion the original one is same as

judge = CheckLych(array, randomNb, arraySize);

also i have warning that

fscanf(ifp, "%d", (*arrayPtr));

this says, '%d' expects type 'int *' but argument 3 has type 'int'??

and when i run this
it stops at memory allocation...

>>I haven't changed this fucntion the original one is same as
See line 38 or your original post.

>>this says, '%d' expects type 'int *' but argument 3 has type 'int'??
Oh yes, you need to make it a pointer, like this: fscanf(ifp, "%d", &(*arrayPtr)[i]);

See line 38 or your original post.

Thanx for help! but still can't find my original post. I checked all the post and there is no such line 38 matches
this call

judge = CheckLych(array, randomNb, arraySize);

does it have to like??

judge = CheckLych(&array, randomNb, arraySize);

code:

int CheckLych(int array[], int n, int count)
{
   int counter = 0;
   int i;
   for (i=0; i<count; i++)
   {
      if (n == array[i])
      {
         counter = TRUE;
      }
   }
   return counter;
}
