Understanding segfault information

I'm trying to debug a segfault that happens when I run my program written in C++.

I am getting an error of this sort when I run my program:

[1]    24926 segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./program

What I would like to know is what do the numbers written before the segfault indicate, i.e., what is [1] and what is 24926?

Thank You

[1] is the job ID number, and 24926 is the PID (process ID) of the program which crashed.

I'm assuming you're on a Unix-based system right now, as far as I know they're the only ones to use this format. This isn't very meaningful information to help you solve your problem though, so you'd be better off opening another thread and share your code in the new one.
