can't figure out why program crashes
get segmentation fault

#include <iostream.h>

const int MAXLINE = 100;

int main()
{
char line[MAXLINE]="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs";
int j, i=0;
char newLine[MAXLINE];

while (line[i] != '\0')
{
j = 0;
while (line[i] != ' ')
{
newLine[j] = line[i];
i++;
j++;
}

i++;
}
return 0;
}

well bascially it's a bit of a nonsense... ;-)

you are doing some strange things like incrementing i in two seperate locations...

I'm guessing the segfault itself though is that you first check once that the current character is not \0 but then you blindy increment i without ever checking it again, so it will *always* go over the end of the variable.
