Increased array size. after increaseSize function some arguments of the same array are invalid. C lang
The program takes some txt input from "numbers.txt" file. It first counts the amount of all the numbers (freqCount)in that text file, than reads the file again and with the use of malloc it creates two arrays A and B , of which both have size equal to the amount of all the numbers in the text file. So far so good.
Now i want to increase the size of the array A, so that I can put "freqCount" more arguments in it. In the freqRepeat function I created, there is a function increaseSize which takes that same array A, and uses realloc to add 2*freqCount more arguments in it.
After calling the mentioned function increaseSize there is a problem, because only part of the arguments remain unchanged, and there are few arguments that become some huge number. This is a major issue. Can anyone please provide me with some help ? thanks
ps. I include the expemplary text file input at the end of the code.
