I have a structure called table, I just want to create a table, like constructor in java, but when i call this function in main, it gives segmentation fault
struct table *create(char *name,int number,char *s_name) { struct table *newTable; newTable->name = name; newTable->number = number; newTable->s_name = s_name; return newTable; } 
struct table *newTable = malloc(sizeof(struct table)); Don't forget calling free when you're done using it, as C does not have a Garbage Collector like java has.
sizeof (struct table) or sizeof *newTable (I prefer the latter). Unlike C++, struct tags must be preceded by the struct keyword.You haven't allocated any memory for the object, and are de-referencing fields of the structure. You need to use malloc to allocate memory for newTable before accessing it
you are trying to access unallocated/uninitialized memory & SIGSEGV (Segmentation Fault) is perfectly alright for the code unless you allocate memory explicitly using malloc or other memory allocation methods.
