Reasons for a C++ Program Crash

C++ programs may crash unexpectedly for various reasons. Here are some typical causes of such crashes: Segmentation Fault A segmentation fault is a major cause of program crashes. It occurs when: Attempting to access a memory location that doesn’t exist. Trying to write to a read-only memory location. Accessing protected memory locations, such as kernel memory. Example: int main() {     char *text;     // Stored in the read-only part of the data segment     text = "ABC";     // Problem: trying to modify read-only memory     *(text + 1) = 'n';     return 0; }   Stack Overflow Stack overflow happens due to non-terminating recursion, which exhausts the stack memory. Example: #include <stdio.h> void functionRecursive(int num)  {     if (num =...
