Thread: comparing strings in linked list

basically, im trying to get my program to print list of students with a specified year. for example, if the specified year = junior, then the program will print all the junior students in the list.

however, my program only prints out the first Junior student in list and stops afterwards. what is wrong with my function.

Heres the code for my function. Thanks in advance.

Code:

void printStudentsOfYear(STUDENTNODE* head, char * year)
{
      // add your code
        STUDENTNODE* currNode = head;
        printf("-----DUMPING STUDENTS OF YEARS------\n");
        while(currNode != NULL)
        {
                STUDENT* Student = currNode->student;
                int cmp = strcmp(year,Student->year);
                if (cmp == 0) {
                        printf("%s, %s, %d\n", Student->name, Student->ucinetid, Student->year, Student->studentid);
                        currNode = currNode->next;
                }
        }
}

nvm i figured it out, but thanks anyways.

- printf() has more parameters than format specifiers
- currNode doesn't get updated if the name doesn't match - so no traveling the linked list
