I am pretty new to the coding but there is some problem i am experiencing with all my compilers and IDEs. Whenever i try to compile my c code in vs code or code blocks it does not give proper or to be specific desired output which i get perfectly when i use the same code on online compilers. for example,`the below code prints Hello and exits in VS Code but in online compiler it executes exactly the same way it should. I dont know if its a compiler problem or an IDE thing but if anybody knows this, please answer. I only encounter this with c language codes, in c++ it works fine.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct node
{
int info;
struct node *next;
} node;

node *front;
node *rear;
} queue;
void
createqueue (queue * q)
{
q->front = q->rear = NULL;
}
int
isempty (queue * q)
{
if (q->front == NULL)
return 1;
return 0;
}
void
enqueue (queue * q, int val)
{
node *p = (node *) malloc (sizeof (node));
p->info = val;
p->next = NULL;
if (isempty (q))
q->front = q->rear = p;
else
{
q->rear->next = p;
q->rear = p;
}
}
int
dequeue (queue * q)
{
int t;
t = (q->front)->info;
node *p = (node *) malloc (sizeof (node));
p = q->front;

q->front = q->rear = NULL;

`

createqueue (q); // function tries to dereference it.
You must make q point somewhere.
You should also learn how to use your IDE to debug -- the debugger would tell you immediately why your program exits (actually it doesn't exit, it crashes).
