C Program to Show Runtime Exceptions

Runtime exceptions occur while the program is running. Here, the compilation process will be successful.  These errors occur due to segmentation faults and when a number is divided by a division operator or modulo division operator.

Types of Runtime Errors:

1. An invalid memory access 
2. Dividing by zero. 
3. Segmentation faults  
4. Large memory allocation/Large Static Memory Allocation 
5. Making common errors. 

1. During runtime, an invalid memory access  

An invalid memory access error occurs during runtime when the array's index is assigned a negative value. 

Note: The output might change every time we run this program because it gives a junk value in return for the invalid location.

2. Dividing by zero

When we are trying to divide any number by zero then we get this type of error called floating-point errors.

Output:

3. Segmentation Faults

Let us consider an array of length 5 i.e. array[5], but during runtime, if we try to access 10 elements i.e array[10] then we get segmentation fault errors called runtime errors. Giving only an array length of 5

But in output trying to access more than 5 i.e if we try to access array[10] during runtime then we get an error 

Output:

4. Large memory allocation/Large Static Memory Allocation : 

In general, all online judges allow up to 10^8. However, to be on the safe side, use up to 10^7 unless it is required. In the below example we have mentioned more than 10^8 so, it will cause an error due to large memory allocation.

Output: 

5. Making common errors: 

The below code gives runtime error because we have declared a variable as long int but in scanf we have used %d instead of %ld. So it will give an error.

Output:
