Linked List Error

Hi, I'm new to C programming and I'm trying to create code ( it's part of a larger program) which creates linked list of country codes. Basically I'm getting the country codes inputted from the user which I store in a structure and then I created a separate structure (as requested in assignment question) which will store the country code.

I'm getting the following error:
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '.'

This is part of the code :

Code:

void enterclientrecord(const clientrecord_type *clientrecord, listCode** startPtr)
{
    scanf("%s",clientrecord->countrycode);


    insertCode(startPtr, clientrecord->countrycode);
        
};

void insertCode(listCode **startPtr, const char *countryCode)
{
    listCode *prevNode = NULL, *curNode = *startPtr;
    
    listCode *newNode = (listCode*)malloc(sizeof(listCode));
    
    
        listCode.countryCode = countryCode; //ERROR IS GIVEN HERE
    
    newNode->nextPtr = NULL;
    
    while ((curNode != NULL)&&( strcmp(newNode->countryCode , curNode->countryCode) > 0 ) )
    {
        prevNode = curNode;
        curNode = prevNode->nextPtr;
    };


    if (prevNode==NULL)
    {
        *startPtr=newNode;
    }    


    else
    {
        prevNode->nextPtr = newNode;
    };


    newNode->nextPtr = curNode;
            
};

Code:

        listCode.countryCode = countryCode;

listCode seems to be a struct type
guess you want

Code:

        newNode->countryCode = countryCode;

I did as you said but now it gave me these errors
1. warning C4090 =' : different 'const' qualifiers
2. error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value
I have no idea what they mean?

Sorry didnt look at the definition of countryCode.
You will have to use strcpy() to copy the countryCode into the listCode
Kurt

Also, don't cast malloc(). It will save you some headaches in case you ever forget to include stdlib.h

@claudiu .. what is an alternative to malloc?

Hi, I'm trying to print the items in the list (a continuation from code above) however its not working..

Code:

void printList(listCode* startPtr){
	listCode* curNode = startPtr;


	printf("*** Country Stats *** \n");


	while (curNode != NULL)
	{
		displayStats(curNode);
		curNode = curNode->nextPtr;
	};
};

I didn't say "don't use malloc" I said "don't cast the return value of malloc".

i.e.

Code:

int *p = (int*)malloc(SOME_SIZE*sizeof(int));
/* should be */
int *p = malloc(SOME_SIZE*sizeof(int));

ahhh sorry i misunderstood, thanks!
