Hello
I am programming in c
I am trying to use sscanf on a string
the sting looks like the following
{'2', '5', EOF, EOF, EOF, EOF, EOF, EOF, EOF, EOF}
I am trying to read a float

I get a segmentation fault. Any ideas why?

Segmentation fault occurs when the memory allocated is not enough or is done improperly.
Why not read char when you are reading a string.
EOF is a macro constant definition. It expands to a negative integral constant expression.

I actually just fixed the segmentation fault, sry bout that. But I still have a problem, whenever I do sscanf the value returned is not 25, it's some random value that changes everytime

I fixed it, sorry, it was a really dumb error, I was trying to read a float to a char.
