InternalCompilerError: Stack too deep, try removing local variables [duplicate]

Question

I want add and store more than 16 variables value in in my private blockchain, I am unable to define the variable in Struct {}, I got Error

"InternalCompilerError: Stack too deep, try removing local variables".

Please tell any one how to store it, Also please see my code below.

Answer 1

as @Nico stated in his comment it's about stack limitation (EVM can only reach a specific depth into the stack to read arguments).

Per design in the EVM you can access only last 16 slots(16 fixed lenght type and 8 strings) from the top (stack not capped to 16).therefore having more arguments than that limit will cause a problem. By this limitation you can deal only with around 16 local variables (including parameters and return parameters).
