In a dimly lit room, a programmer debugged a perplexing issue: int x = 42; float y = 3.14; char z = 'A';. The compiler, however, threw an error—Segmentation fault (core dumped). Frustrated, they scanned through 1,000+ lines of cryptic code, noticing an off-by-one error in a nested loop: for(int i = 0; i <= n; i++). Meanwhile, an email arrived: 'Your deployment failed at 03:27 AM due to an unexpected NULL pointer dereference.' Sighing, they refactored the function, replaced malloc() with calloc(), and reran the build. Success! The terminal displayed: Execution completed in 0.032s; memory usage: 1.2MB. Exhausted but triumphant, they pushed the commit: git push origin main.
