I'm trying to write a function that takes a 2D vector as an argument. This compiles just fine, but I get a segmentation fault whilst execution.
//http://www.codechef.com/problems/SUMTRIAN
#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;
int max_sum_path(int maximum_rows,vector<vector<int> >& matrix,int row_index,int colm_index);
int main()
{
vector<vector<int> > Triangle;
int num_test_cases;
cin>>num_test_cases;
//to iterate over the test cases
for(int i=0;i<num_test_cases;++i)
{
int max_rows;
cin>>max_rows;
//to build the 2d vector
Triangle.resize(max_rows);
for(int j=0;j<max_rows;++j)
{
Triangle[j].resize(j+1);
}
//get the input
for(int j=0;j<max_rows;++j)
{
for(int k=0;k<=j;++k)
{
cin>>Triangle[j][k];
}
}
cout<<max_sum_path(max_rows,Triangle,0,0)<<endl;
Triangle.clear();
}
return 0;
}
int max_sum_path(int maximum_rows,vector<vector<int> >& matrix,int row_index,int colm_index)
{
if(row_index >= maximum_rows || colm_index > row_index)
{
//we have reached a cell outside the Triangular Matrix
return 0;
}
else
{
return matrix[row_index][colm_index] + max(max_sum_path(maximum_rows,matrix,row_index+1,colm_index), max_sum_path(maximum_rows,matrix,row_index+1,colm_index+1));
}
}
Here's the error that this gives me when I run it.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000400e21 in max_sum_path (maximum_rows=3, matrix=..., row_index=3, colm_index=3) at sums_triangle.cpp:49
49 return matrix[row_index][colm_index] + max(max_sum_path(maximum_rows,matrix,row_index+1,colm_index), max_sum_path(maximum_rows,matrix,row_index+1,colm_index+1));
As a side note, when I tried using a 2D array instead of the vector I got a compile time error.
g++ -Wall sums_triangle.cpp -o sums_triangle
sums_triangle.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
sums_triangle.cpp:28:46: error: cannot convert ‘int (*)[(((long unsigned int)(((long int)max_rows) + -0x00000000000000001)) + 1)][(((long unsigned int)(((long int)max_rows) + -0x00000000000000001)) + 1)]’ to ‘int**’ for argument ‘2’ to ‘int max_sum_path(int, int**, int, int)’
What is the right way to pass multidimensional vectors as arguments to functions.
