When trying to run program on eclipse it crashes

Question

I think it may be a memory leak of some kind when trying to read the .txt file. It just stops responding and crashes I am fairly new to programming in general.

This is the total incomplete code :

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>

#define MAXNUMWORDS 100
#define MAXWORDLENGTH 60

Answer 1

WordsReadIn doesn't seem to be incremented, possibly resulting in a divide by 0.

This loop:

    while (fgets(input, 100, pToFile)) {
        sscanf(input, "%s", WordList[WordsReadIn]);

    }

I'd write as:

    while (fgets(input, 100, pToFile)) {
        sscanf(input, "%59s", WordList[WordsReadIn]);
        ++WordsReadIn;
    }
