Could you tell how to fix the problem with segmentation fault core damped?

When we run this code in gcc cygwin, up to 2 nodes this program works fine, but when we define 3rd node the gcc compiler show : segmentation fault core damped (I gues this code does not work on sololearn, so it is better to test in desktop or in laptop): https://code.sololearn.com/c7Gn4AAu085q/#c

I found it in your tree nodes when you allocate memory you set just key and value there is left and right pointers must be set to null use calloc instead of malloc to initilize the memory to zero (and NULL) or set it manually like tmp->left->left=tmp-left-right=NULL; I just changed malloc to calloc in your code and it is done

That happens when you access memory that is not yours. For example you use a pointer after freeing, you dereference an invalid pointer, you read past array bounds, that sort of thing. Really hard to tell without looking at the code.

Examine the core file with gdb using your binary as reference. I can't do it either. On the train myself 😉.

I'm on a train at the moment so I can't check with gcc and gdb, I'm sorry :/ Maybe someone else can step in..
