I created a program that is supposed to read two 3D matrices from a binary file, multiply them, and print the result to a binary file. However, while it successfully compiles, when I run it, it gives me a segmentation fault error.
Here is the code I used for the program:
<code>#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
int n;
int n2;
int matrix1[n][n][n], matrix2[n][n][n], result_matrix[n][n][n];
FILE *file1, *file2, *result;
file1 = fopen("matrix1.bin", "rb");
file2 = fopen("matrix2.bin", "rb");
fread(&n, sizeof(int), 1, file1);
fread(&n2, sizeof(int), 1, file2);
if (n != n2 || n > 100) {
printf("Error: Incompatible matrices or n greater than 100.");
return 1;
}
fread(matrix1, sizeof(int), n * n * n, file1);
fread(matrix2, sizeof(int), n * n * n, file2);
fclose(file1);
fclose(file2);
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
for (int k = 0; k < n; ++k) {
result_matrix[i][j][k] = 0;
for (int l = 0; l < n; l++) {
result_matrix[i][j][k] += matrix1[i][j][l] * matrix2[l][j][k];
}
}
}
}
result = fopen("result.bin", "wb");
fwrite(&n, sizeof(int), 1, result);
fwrite(result_matrix, sizeof(int), n * n * n, result);
fclose(result);
return 0;
}

This is specifically where the segmentation fault is happening:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000555555555c3a in main () at 31504085_1.c:35
35 result_matrix[i][j][k] += matrix1[i][j][l] * matrix2[l][j][k];
What can you do to help fix this issue?
