weird error cannot acces memory

[sullen flint]

here is my code

void init_emps() {
    emp_count = 3;
    emps = (emp*)malloc(sizeof(emp) * emp_count);

    if (emps == NULL) {
        printf("could not malloc emps array");
        return 0;
    }
    else {
        add_emp();
        print_emps();
    }
}

void add_emp() {
    if (emps != NULL) {
        //emp_count++;
        //emps = realloc(emps, sizeof(emp) * emp_count);
        emp em = { "doon", 18 };
        emps[emp_count-1] = em;
    }
}

void print_emps() {
    for (int i = 0; i < emp_count-1; i++) {
        puts(emps[i].name);
    }
}``` i get this error ```Exception thrown at 0x00007FF87F337CA0 (ucrtbased.dll) in bankSystem.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.``` i get it when i try to print my emps does anyone know how to fix this?

Is this your entire code?

What is library.h?

[sullen flint]

yeah i just got a library.h in my project but thats it well and my main but that only calls init]

[sullen flint]

here is my library.h ```#pragma once
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef struct {
char* name;
int age;
} emp;

emp* emps;

int emp_count;

void init_emps();
void add_emp();
void print_emps();```

I've noticed that you haven't used your function init_emps() anywhere in the code?

What are you trying to do on this project? Maybe I can help you further
