program.c:11:37 runtime error - index 5 out of bounds for type 'int [5]' Don't understand? Get AI-generated help by running: dcc-help dcc-help Here is an AI generated explanation. Be careful - it may be wrong! The error you are seeing is a runtime error. It occurs when you are
trying to access an element of an array that is outside of its valid
range. In this case, the array data
has a size of 5, which means its valid indices are from 0 to 4.
In your code, you are using a while loop to iterate over the elements
of the data array. You correctly use
a condition i is less than 5 to ensure that the loop only runs while i
is less than 5. However, you forgot to consider the fact that array indices
start from 0. So, when i becomes 5 in the loop, it is actually trying to
access the element at index 5, which is out of bounds.
The runtime error occurs when you try to print the "Final value"
using
data[i] after the while loop. At this
point, i is 5, so it is trying to access data[5], which does not exist and leads to undefined behavior. To fix this error, you should change the condition in the while loop
to i less than 5 (to account for the valid indices of the array) and
move the line printf("Final value was: %d\n", data[i]); inside the while loop, after i++. This way, it will print the final value
of data[i] while i is still valid.
