alligators and ducks console game segmentation fault

[rockerjhr]

Suppose there are n ducks floating on the pond in a circle. The pond is also home for an alligator with a fondness for ducks. Beginning at the 1st position, the alligator counts around the circle and eats every mth duck (the circle closing as ducks are eaten). For example, the eaten order when n=8, m = 4 is

5 1 6 3 2 4 8 7

The fifth duck is the first on the menu, the first duck is second, etc. Write a program which prints out the order of disappearance of the ducks given n (number of ducks) and m (inteval to the next duck to be eaten) to the screen. At least one blank must separate each number. The values of m and n are to be entered from the keyboard via standard input. You should use malloc to create the space for the m ducks.

I put 8 and 4 and keep getting segmentation fault i think i did something wrong in the main file but im not sure

[rockerjhr]

just figured it out lol i had to pass next on line 26 instead of nextduck
