Well, as a question, a segmentation fault indicates you wrote some piece
of code incorrectly that caused the application to crash. Most likely
your program stepped outside of the bounds of allocated memory and
attempted to read/write from/to some page of memory your program was not
allowed to access, an exception occurred, and the OS put a stop to it.

Without actual code, we can't really diagnose your problem further. You
should be using a debugger and learning how to use it to solve problems
such as these (preferably a debugger within an IDE, and also preferably
the VC++ debugger as it is the BEST debugger on the planet - and
therefore ideal for beginning programmers) .
