This program works fine if I comment out "printPigWord(temp);" and it tokenizes the words as it should with no problems but then once I add that line back, it won't do the next token. It will print 1 "pig latin" word and returns back to main and then I get a segmentation fault. I have no idea what causes it.
int main (void){
char phrase[50];
char *token, c, temp[20];
int i=0;
printf("Enter a phrase to be translated into pig latin: ");
c = getchar();
while( c != '\n'){
phrase[i++] = c;
c = getchar();
}
phrase[i] = '\0';
token = strtok(phrase, " ");
while(token != NULL){
strcpy(temp, token);
printPigWord(temp);
token = strtok(NULL, " ");
}
return 0; /*Successful completion*/
}
void printPigWord(char token[20]){
char first[1];
char temp[20];
/*save first letter */
strncpy(first, token, 1);
first[1] = '\0';
/*add ay to end of first letter*/
strcat(first, "ay");
/*remove first letter of token*/
strcpy(temp, &token[1]);
/*add first letter+ay to end of token*/
strcat(temp, first);
/*print out token*/
printf("%s\n", temp);
}
Hmpf. first is only one chars long. You cannot concat stuff to it, otherwise you overwrite something else (e.g. temp)...
first[1] = '\0'; // already out of boundes
/*add ay to end of first letter*/
strcat(first, "ay"); // again, first can carry only one char
