yup.. seg fault problem is solved by taking the array as global and static int. but i didn't get it, why this happened, why the problem solved this way ? |

Do we need to convert the string into uppercase character by our own or is it by default assumed to be in uppercase character |

@I am back, Nikhar : SIGSEGV is because of the 2D array size if you have used. In case of 2000 length, seg fault. Use static int array with fixed size if required! |
