The program I'm trying to run checks to see if a number is perfect, abundant or deficient. It's perfect if its factors add up to the number(ie 6 = 3+2+1), deficient if the number is greater than the factors, and abundant if the factors add up to more than the number. This is one of the first times ive coded in c, we had to make a java one and it worked fine when I did it then.
Anyways i get a bus error after it asks for an upper bound...What is a bus error and how can I get this to work?
s84n109:desktop teg3$ gcc -o perfectnumbers perfectnumbers.c
s84n109:desktop teg3$ ./perfectnumbers
Enter an upper bound
10
Bus error
Thanks alot guys
