Ошибка сегментации в программе c во время сортировки строк

Question

Программа написана для создания пузырьков в соответствии с датами, введенными пользователем в формате dd/mm/yyyy, где месяц может быть строкой или целым числом. После компиляции ошибка не появляется, но ошибка сегментации возникает после ввода дат во время выполнения. Я не могу понять ошибку. Кроме того, я относительно новичок в программировании. Пожалуйста помоги.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h> 

void readElements(char **date, int n) {

      "an integer\n");

связано выдаёт ошибку сегментации с использованием неинициализированные памяти. Когда я компилирую эту программу, ищущую предупреждения, указываются две основные категории проблем: неинициализированные обращения к памяти и сравнения строк.

Изменить вам код из,

void readElements(char **date,int n) 
{printf("enter the dates in dd/mm/yyyy format where month can be a string or an integer\n"); 
for(int i=0;i<n;i++) 
{date[i]=(char*)malloc(50); 
scanf("%s",date[i]); 
printf("%d %s \n",i, str); 
}} 

к,

void readElements(char **date,int n) 
{printf("enter the dates in dd/mm/yyyy format where month can be a string or an integer\n"); 

for(int i=0;i<n;i++)  
{ 
     char *str ; 
     str = (char*)malloc(60); 

     date[i]= str; 

scanf("%s",str); 

printf("%d %s \n",i, str); 
    }} 

Это будет работать ..
