Why am I getting a segmentation fault error? - c++

Question

I am receiving a segmentation fault and am unsure what that means and cant find whats wrong?
Pico is giving this error,
Here is my code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <string.h>
//Struct groups each line in the file
struct gradesRecord
{
int iIndex; // index on the file
int iStudentNUM; // 'Student' field
int iExamGrouped[3]; // 'Exam 1'..'Exam 3' fields
char cStudentAVG; // 'Grade' field
};
void printUnsortedStringFromFile(int amount, struct gradesRecord A[]);
void printSortedStringFromFile(int amount, struct gradesRecord A[]);
//bool binSearchNUM(int amount, int A[amount], int target,);
int main()
{
FILE* spData = fopen("grades.csv", "r");
int ch, number_of_lines = 0;
do
{
ch = fgetc(spData);
if (ch == '\n')
number_of_lines++;
} while (ch != EOF);
if (ch != '\n' && number_of_lines != 0)
number_of_lines++;
fclose(spData);
printf("There are %d lines in file grades.csv . \n", number_of_lines);
int amount = number_of_lines;
struct gradesRecord A[amount];
printUnsortedStringFromFile(amount, A );
printSortedStringFromFile(amount, A );
//binSearchNUM(int amount, int A[amount], int target, );
return 0;
}

Answer 1

create grades.csv with this input format:
Student,Exam 1,Exam 2,Exam 3,Grade
for example:
1,18,17,14,18
2,15,18,10,16
and output is, witout any Error, but if grades.csv not exist or have a bad information, you get Segmentation fault (core dumped)
There are 3 lines in file grades.csv .
+-------+------+------+------+-----+
|Student|Exam 1|Exam 2|Exam 3|Grade|
+-------+------+------+------+-----+
| 1| 18| 17| 14| 1|
| 2| 15| 18| 10| 1|
+-------+------+------+------+-----+
+-----+-------+-----+
|Index|Student|Grade|
+-----+-------+-----+
| 1| 1| 1|
| 2| 2| 1|
+-----+-------+-----+
